Response to: What about Topic Maps
Hello, I do not want to rephrase a good well-known introduction of Steve Pepper on Topic Maps, which can be found at http://www.ontopia.net/topicmaps/materials/tao.html. SKOS uses high flexibility and descriptive power of RDF. SKOS Core provides a model for expressing the basic structure and content of concept schemes. However, as said in this introduction, relationship to other RDFS/OWL ontologies, as well as to XML Topic Maps, is still an open issue. SKOS Core allows you to model a set of concepts as an RDF graph, while most other RDF applications (FOAF) allow you to model things like people, organisations, places etc. as an RDF graph Sincerely yours, Peter.
