Using SKOS to integrate social networking sites with scholarly information portals

Abstract

Web 2.0 platforms have become a ubiquitous way of information exchange, but are seldom integrated with the Web of Data. To overcome this situation we propose the usage of SKOS thesauri acting as back-of-the-book index providing domain-specific axes transcending applications. We illustrate this concept with a use-case in the social sciences domain but applications in other domains are possible. (author's abstract)
