Re: [SKOS] application in indexing and search

Hi Johan,
maybe you could be interested in having a look at Squiggle [1] semantic
search engine and its demo implementations [2][3]. The approach we used for
exploiting SKOS in indexing and searching is described in the paper [4] and
in the SKOS use cases at [5].

HTH,
Irene
