[Koha] Is it possible to use a thesaurus in RDF withing KOHA?

[Caracciolo, Caterina (OPCC)]

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?

Many thanks
Caterina

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.

Hope that helps,

Dear all,

I am new to this group. Before posting this question I looked around quite a bit, but could not find a definitive answer to my question. I hope somebody can help me.

I would like to know if it is currently possible to use a thesaurus that is in RDF in KOHA, as an authority for topics. I work with the AGROVOC thesaurus (agriculture, fisheries, forestry and related), which is currently only released as RDF/SKOS, and I would like to know what is the status of KOHA with respect to the use of resources like that. In my understand there is currently no directly way to load or directly access an thesaurus in RDF in KOHA. Can you please confirm or correct me if that is the case?

Many thanks!
Caterina
