Eurovoc is a new multilingual thesaurus joining the list of legal resources available as “Linked Data” on the web. It focuses on the law and legislation of the European Union and is available in 21 different languages. Eurovoc is also converted to SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization Systems), a common data model used for linking knowledge organization systems including thesauri, taxonomy and classification systems. There have already been a big list of Linked Data resources available for the legal domain. To learn about the Pull model for the legal domain, read chapter 13 from David’s book Pull.
