SKOS is a data model to represent and network knowledge organization systems (thesauri, classification systems, etc) in RDF. SKOS is meant to be as easy of use as possible, fitting existing practices while keeping general enough to fit a high number of use cases and KOS configurations. In this tutorial, an introduction to the various features of SKOS will be given, illustrating how they can be used to represent existing KOS data. The tutorial will present how the vision of leveraging existing KOS on the web of data is being adopted in a number of projects, in the Cultural Heritage sector and beyond. Available tooling and methods for creating and publishing SKOS as well as porting legacy KOS data to SKOS will also be discussed.
