I made a SKOS slide last week, presented briefly during Alistair's 
XTech talk.

There's a less texty version in Alistair's slides (are these online?)
that he
made (reconstructed from a beermat ;) and OpenOffice source file
at the url above.

I wanted to make the point that SKOS is important because it bridges 3 
worlds: that of formal data modelling and exchange (RDF/OWL), that of
the librarian and information professional, and that of 'scruffy'
grassroots
Web data (blogs etc).
