Calais RDF -> SKOS
Calais RDF -> SKOS
Posted on: Wed, 06/18/2008 - 15:35

Just wondering if anyone's attempted to map/migrate the Calais RDF results to the SKOS vocabulary, and if so, whether they'd be willing to share their findings/thoughts... In short, I have a bunch of RDF results from a variety of services (Open Calais included) and I want to merge those results and migrate them to a common vocabulary (SKOS) but I want to be sure I'm interpreting both models correctly. 

E.g. Entity/Fact/Event -> skos:Concept; c:name ->  skos:prefLabel etc.

If there's nothing out there on this I'll just go it alone, but wanted to check first.

Thanks,

Heather

Mapping to SKOS

Heather -

Thanks for your interest.
We were not planning on mapping the OpenCalais ontology to SKOS but I guess it makes a lot of sense.
We're currently working on publishing the OpenCalais ontology in a more standardized format, most likely as RDFS. I think that once we do that it would facilitate the mapping process, so you may want to wait a little..
Of course we are now also very curious about the other services you are using and how combining them with OpenCalais could potentially bring more value. Can you share?

Thanks,
Michal
