Re: [SKOS] Mapping tags to things

Kjetil,
Thanks for announcing this. I think this is an excellent use case for SKOS.
One question I have for you is how are you currently implemented the 
functionality of people mapping their tags to a term in Wordnet? For 
example, if they their tag is "canine" how do you enable them to find 
"dog"? I didn't notice that why browsing the links below. Also, how 
do you store a wordnet tag such that it refers back to wordnet, and 
would things change much if using SKOS?

Thanks
Daniel
