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.
Documentation Properties
note		Super-property for all other SKOS documentation/note properties. Not used by PPT.
definition	Definition	A statement or formal explanation of the meaning of a concept
scopeNote	Scope Note	A note that helps to clarify the meaning of a concept.
example	Example	A example that helps to clarify the meaning of a concept.
historyNote	History Note	A note about the past state/use/meaning of a concept
editorialNote	Editorial Note	A note for an editor, translator or maintainer of the vocabulary
changeNote	Change Note	A note about a modification to a concept
Semantic Relations
semanticRelation		Super-property for all other SKOS relations and mapping properties. Not used in PPT.
broaderTransitive		Transitive super-property of skos:broader. Not used in PPT.
broader	Broader Concepts	A concept that is more general in meaning.
narrowerTransitive		Transitive superproperty of skos:narrower. Not used in PPT.
narrower	Narrower Concepts	A concept that is more specific in meaning.
related	Related Concepts	A concept with which there is an associative semantic relationship.
mappingRelation		Super-property for all SKOS mapping properties/relations. Not used in PPT.
closeMatch	Close Matching Concepts	Links two concepts that are sufficiently similar that they can be used interchangeably in some information retrieval applications.
exactMatch	Exact Matching Concepts	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.
relatedMatch	Related Matching Concepts	Used to state an associative mapping link between two concepts in different concept schemes or vocabularies.

Collection/Ordered Collection

Class (SKOS)	Class (PP)	Notes
Collection		A meaningful collection of concepts.
OrderedCollection		An ordered collection of concepts, where both the grouping and the ordering are meaningful. Not used in PPT

For a skos:Collection/skos:OrderedCollection the following properties are available:

Property (SKOS)	Property (PP)	Notes
member		Indicates a member of collection.
memberList		Not used in PPT.
