Interesting that you should mention that Roy! Yesterday I was talking
to a customer about faceted navigation - more structure, metadata, and
taxonomies (or ontology if logic is included :0), but it seems best
suited for domain applications or collections, homogenous sets of
entities, possibly NOT a hierarchy, but with the purpose of reflecting
the scope and subject of a classification system. It offers support for
user tasks and analysis.     (01)

FYI:     (04)

For those following the "classification" thread within this forum, the
following email might provide useful and interesting content.      (05)

My suggested General Ontology approach uses "faceted classification"
techniques to define the context of a subject.    (06)

Drafts    (08)

We are pleased to announce the publication of the following technical
reports as
second W3C Public Working Drafts:    (010)

  SKOS Core Guide 
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-guide-20051102/    (011)

  SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-spec-20051102/    (012)

For a summary of revisions since first Working Draft publication see:    (013)

http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-spec-20051102/#secchanges    (014)

SKOS Core is a simple, flexible and extensible language for expressing
in a
machine-understandable form the structure and content of concept
schemes
such as
thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies,
'folksonomies', other types of controlled vocabulary, and also concept
schemes
embedded in glossaries and terminologies.    (015)

For links to tutorials, presentations, development information, version
history,
translations, proposals, datasets and more see the SKOS Core home page:    (016)

http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/    (017)

The SKOS Core Vocabulary is an application of the Resource Description
Framework
(RDF).  Using RDF allows data to be linked to and/or merged with other
data.
In
practice, this means that distributed sources of data can be
meaningfully
composed and integrated.    (018)

For more information about RDF and related specifications, see the
Semantic
Web
Activity home page:    (019)

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/    (020)

The 'SKOS Core Guide' is a guide to the recommended usage of the SKOS
Core
Vocabulary, for readers who already have a basic understanding of RDF
concepts.    (021)

The 'SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification' gives a reference-style
overview of
the
SKOS Core Vocabulary, and describes policies for ownership, naming,
persistence
and change management.    (022)

These reports are second public Working Drafts, and are work in
progress.
We
ask at this stage for feedback from anyone with a potential interest in
using
these specifications, or with relevant expertise.  Please send comments
and
suggestions on these drafts to public-esw-thes@xxxxxx and begin the
subject
line
of the message with 'comment:'.  If possible, please send comments
before
31st
January 2006.     (023)

The Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group is
committed to
a
public, consensus-driven design environment for SKOS Core, and to this
end
conducts all SKOS-related discussion in public, in particular drawing
on
feedback from the Semantic Web Interest Group mailing list:    (024)

  public-esw-thes@xxxxxx    (025)

This work has benefited greatly from contributions made
by the members of this mailing list, and their feedback, suggestions
and
encouragement are gratefully acknowledged.  The public-esw-thes@xxxxxx
mailing
list is open, and anyone is welcome to subscribe or to post messages.
To
subscribe, send an email to public-esw-thes-request@xxxxxx with the
subject
line
'subscribe', or activate the following link:    (026)

Working
Group,    (028)
