Just announced on the W3C home page: 2008-01-25: The Semantic Web Deployment Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of SKOS Simple Knowledge Organization System Reference. This document defines the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), a common data model for sharing and linking knowledge organization systems via the Semantic Web. SKOS provides a standard, low-cost means to describe the semantic relationships between existing knowledge systems and to port those systems to the Semantic Web. SKOS also provides a lightweight, intuitive language for developing and sharing new knowledge organization systems. -- http://www.w3.org/News/2008#item12 Thanks, Alistair, Sean, Antoine, et. al. (Note that this is considered a "First" WD despite the previous SKOS-core WD because we now are explicitly on the W3C Recommendation Track which grants Members a 150-day period starting today to exclude any patents they might not wish to license for purposes of implementing SKOS.)
