Complementarity of OWL and SKOS

• OWL precision not always necessary or appropriate

  • OWL a sledge hammer / SKOS a nutcracker
  • OWL a Harley / SKOS a mountain bike
  • Complement each other, can be used in combination to optimize cost/benefit

• SKOS

  • Bridging the worlds of library classification and Web technology
  • Simple enough to be undemanding in terms of cost and required expertise
