[DDI-users] Public Review of XKOS

[Jared Lyle]

The DDI Alliance is pleased to announce the Public Review of XKOS, an RDF
Vocabulary which extends the Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS)
for the needs of statistical classifications. It does so in two main
directions. First, it defines a number of terms that enable the
representation of statistical classifications with their structure and
textual properties, as well as the relations between classifications.
Second, it refines SKOS semantic properties to allow the use of more
specific relations between concepts. Those specific relations can be used
for the representation of classifications or for any other case where SKOS
is employed. XKOS adds the extensions that are desirable to meet the
requirements of the statistical community.

Links to the specification and instructions for comment are found at
http://www.ddialliance.org/Specification/RDF/XKOS.  We are eager to obtain
feedback from the DDI and RDF communities on this vocabulary. The comment
period is open until January 31, 2017, and we hope to hear from you.
