Re: [Koha] Is it possible to use a thesaurus in RDF withing KOHA?
Caterina, You are correct, Koha (which is not an acronym, so don't need to capital the whole word) can not import RDF thesaurus yet. However, a script (or even an XSL file) could be written to convert AGROVOC in MARC21 which then could be import in Koha.

Hi Eric, Many thanks for your prompt answer! May I also ask you/the list what is the general feeling about future developments of Koha wrt RDF, specifically to support the use of thesauri in RDF/SKOS (and its SKOS-XL). Lately, I have been receiving various enquires on this by fellow librarians, which makes me think this should be direction for future development. What is your opinion about it?

Hello Caterina, i think the scandinavian community working on Koha has very serious plans regarding RDF and linked data. Namely the Oslo public library with Magnus Enger, who is certainly reading this. And the universities in Sweden are also up to something if i am not mistaken.

Hi all! Regarding the AGROVOC thing, there was a module developed by the PTFS-Europe people connecting the Koha ILS of FAO to the AGROVOC web service. And regarding RDF and linked data, yeah that will be nice if the developments comes full circle, I'm also very much interested with that. Regarding transforming SKOSXL through an XSLT, Eric is correct and it's a very difficult one IMHO especially with RDF/SKOS. These thesaurus (not just AGROVOC but other thesauri out there) are a wealth of data that Koha can tap into. -eugene -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Is-it-possible-to-use-a-thesaurus-in-RDF-w...
