SKOS Mapping

Hi all,

Together with the University of Applied Sciencies in Cologne, the German
National Library currently develops a mapping from the German Subject
Headings Authority File (SWD) [1] to the Dewey Decimal Classification
(DDC) [2]. The work is being done within CrissCross [3], a part of the
European project MACS [4] with the aim to produce a mapping between the
SWD, the LCSH [5] and the French RAMEAU [6].

Part of the project assignment is to investigate the possibility to
publish those mappings on the semantic web. This could be one
application of the SKOS Mapping Vocabulary.

Are there any plans to continue the development of SKOS Mapping? (I know
that the work on SKOS Mapping was put on the back burner in order to
finish SKOS Core). If yes, would it help if we published one or two use
cases based on our projects and the data we use in them?

Best regards and thanks for any hints,

Lars
