SKOS Implementation: The Thesaurus of Greek Terms in SKOS

As an answer to your request about possible SKOS implementations, we thought
you might be interested in our work, concerning the implementation of a
Thesaurus of Greek Terms in SKOS. It is a thesaurus originally published by
the National Documentation Centre in Greece and developed in SKOS by our
research team in the High Performance Information Systems Laboratory. We are
also working on expressing some semantic conditions, not yet expressed in
the current SKOS Schema, in OWL 2.

 

Requested details about the implemented SKOS thesaurus are given below.
Please, contact us in case any other information is needed.

 

Kind Regards,

Georgia Solomou
