SKOS and PoolParty

Abstract

SKOS and PoolParty

The following tables show all SKOS classes and properties and their representation in PoolParty (see also: Introduction to SKOS at W3C).

Concept Scheme

Class (SKOS)

Class (PP)

Notes

ConceptScheme

Concept Scheme

A set of concepts, optionally including statements about semantic relationships between those concepts.

For a skos:ConceptScheme the following properties are available:

Property (SKOS)

Property (PP)

Notes

hasTopConcept

Top Concept

Denotes a concept as a top concept. top concepts are displayed in in the details view of a concept scheme. Is set by PPT when a top concept relations is generated.

Concept

Class (SKOS)

Class (PP)

Notes

Concept

Concept

Basic units of the SKOS vocabulary representing "an abstract idea or notion; a unit of thought".

For a skos:Concept the following properties are available:

Property (SKOS)

Property (PP)

Notes

Relation to Concept Scheme

inScheme

The inScheme property is not set by PPT. However, if a inScheme property is defined and a concept has no broader or is not a top concept it becomes a top concept of the defined concept schemes.

topConceptOf

Indicates the relation between a top concept and a concept scheme. Is set by PPT when a top concept relations is generated.

Lexical Labels

prefLabel

Preferred Label

The preferred lexical label for a resource, in a given language.

altLabel

Alternative Label

An alternative lexical label for a resource.

hiddenLabel

Hidden Label

A lexical label for a resource that should be hidden when generating visual displays of the resource, but should still be accessible to free text search operations.

Notations

notation

Notation

A notation, also known as classification code, is a string of characters such as "T58.5" or "303.4833" that can be assigned to a concept as an alternative identifier within the scope of a given concept scheme.The notation can be used e.g. to map concepts of a thesaurus to a classification or taxonomy.

Close Matching Concepts

Links two concepts that are sufficiently similar that they can be used interchangeably in some information retrieval applications.

  • exactMatch

Indicating a high degree of confidence that two concepts can be used interchangeably across a wide range of information retrieval applications. Transitive sub-property of skos:closeMatch.

    • broadMatch

Broader Matching Concepts

Used to state a hierarchical mapping link between two concepts in different concept schemes or vocabularies.

    • narrowMatch

Narrower Matching Concepts

Used to state a hierarchical mapping link between two concepts in different concept schemes or vocabularies.
