Integrative Levels Classification as a Networked KOS: A SKOS Representation of ILC2

Abstract

: Recently, there is a need to move knowledge organization systems (KOS) to online applications, by using Semantic Web technologies, in order to optimize indexing and searching. The present paper reports the representation of the Integrative Levels Classification (ILC) as a networked KOS, through conversion of its second edition into the W3C standard SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) format.
