Abstract

Based on the approach of the role that documentary languages develop in the linked open data environment, two ontologies for publishing authority control files are briefly analysed: Mads/RDF and the GND ontology. We consider the need to contemplate the linked open data reality in a more inclusive and global perspective, in which not only datasets are interconnected, but also controlled vocabularies and description models.

Abstract

The publication of the new ISO 25964 thesaurus standard has coincided with a high level of deployment of the Skos ontology developed by the W3C and should solve the problem posed by the differences between them. There are currently works in progress to create a Skos extension that would use many of the functions provided by the data model of the new standard.
