It's a good start, but here's some criticism without sufficient alternative proposal. Sorry for that, but am at a conference and don't want to let replying slip onto my someday pile. 1. "The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) is a Semantic Web language." I wouldn't lead with that. Lead with something about the problem space addressed by SKOS. Similarly with the RDF mention; squeeze this stuff in later. The 2nd sentence is closer to that, but is somewhat passively worded, "Semi-formal knowledge organization systems, such as thesauri, taxonomies, classification schemes and subject heading systems, can be represented using SKOS." Perhaps, something like... "Semi-formal knowledge organization systems, such as thesauri, taxonomies, classification schemes and subject heading systems all share common structure, and can be applied in overlapping domains. SKOS makes much of this shared structure more explicit, to facilitate data and technology sharing across diverse applications". Thinking out loud... cheers Dan
