Abstract
: Mapping among KOS can be achieved by representing the concepts in each KOS through a canonical expres- sion: DDC: Canonical expression GND 386.8 Inland waterway >Ports◄▬ Traffic station ⊓ Inland water transport ▬►Binnenhafen We explored representing concepts through description logic expressions using a sample of 150 library KOS classes and subject headings, 50 each from the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), the Regensburg Ver-bundsklassifikation (RVK), and the German Integrated Authority File (GND). Working from the ground up, we compiled a small vocabulary of relationships/roles and the beginnings of a faceted classification of elemental concepts. Large-scale application of this approach requires a large hierarchically structured vocabulary of relationships/roles and a universal faceted classification. We discuss the task of developing these tools drawing on many sources.
