Semantic Web

Simple Knowledge Organization System

Definition

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard for publishing a controlled vocabulary (a thesaurus, a taxonomy, a classification) as linked data: each concept with a permanent address, preferred and alternate labels, a definition, broader, narrower and related links, and matches to the same concept in other vocabularies.

How we use the term

The standard this concept scheme is published in. The Authority Record™ publishes the terms your business is about as a SKOS scheme, so a machine reads your vocabulary the way it reads the world's library and research vocabularies, and can match your terms to Wikidata's.
