Atramhasis: An online SKOS vocabulary editor

Abstract

Atramhasis is an online vocabulary editor that allows users to create, maintain and consult controlled vocabularies and thesauri (Harpring, 2010) according to the SKOS specification (Miles & Bechhofer, 2008). SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organisation System) is a W3C Recommendation that supports controlled vocabularies within the framework of the Semantic Web. SKOS provides a standard way to represent these vocabularies using RDF (Resource Description Framework) (Schreiber & Raimond, 2014), another W3C Recommendation that allows passing data between computer applications in an interoperable way.
