SKOS Now Interoperates with OWL 2 » AI3:::Adaptive Information: "n the semantic Web, arguably SKOS is the right vocabulary for representing simple knowledge structures [1] and OWL 2 is the right language for asserting axioms and ontological relationships. In the early days we chose a reliance on SKOS for the UMBEL reference concept ontology, because of UMBEL’s natural role as a knowledge structure. Most recently we also migrated UMBEL to OWL 2 to gain (among other reasons) the metamodeling advantages of “punning”, which allows us to treat things as either classes or instances depending on modeling needs, context and viewpoint [2].
But — until today — we could not get SKOS and OWL 2 to play together nicely. This meant we could not take full advantage of each language’s respective strengths.
Happily, that gap has now been closed. By action of a relatively minor change and the addition of a simple statement, SKOS more fully interoperates with OWL 2."
