English abstract

This paper summarizes new trends and advances in Knowledge Organization from the perspective of linked open data (LOD). Although this is particularly important to galleries, libraries, archives and museums, the so-called GLAM community, it is of more general relevance, and part of the value of LOD lies in its adoption beyond that community. LOD includes descriptive metadata and vocabulary encoding schemes that are being “skosified” (encoded in the SKOS format) or rendered in OWL (the web ontology language) and made available not only “on” the web, but “for” the semantic web. The paper highlights a few exemplary initiatives in the field. The paper also introduces the HIVE (Helping Interdisciplinary Vocabularies Engineering) framework and discusses the HIVE-ES (España) extension for Spanish language vocabularies, leading to a more global approach for linked open vocabularies (LOV).

Spanish abstract

Se presentan brevemente las nuevas tendencias y avances en la organización del conocimiento desde la perspectiva de linked open data (LOD). Aunque esto es particularmente importante para galerías, bibliotecas, archivos y museos –la llamada comunidad GLAM-, es de importancia más general, y parte del valor de LOD se encuentra en su adopción más allá de esa comunidad. LOD incluye esquemas de metadatos descriptivos y de codificación de vocabularios que están siendo “skosificados” (codificados en el formato SKOS) o transformados en OWL (el lenguaje de ontologías web) y puestos a disposición no sólo “en” la Web, sino también “para” la web semántica. Se destacan algunas iniciativas ejemplares en este campo y se presenta el marco HIVE (Ayuda a la Ingeniería de Vocabularios Interdisciplinares) y se analiza la extensión HIVE-ES (España) para los vocabularios en español, dando lugar a un enfoque más global a los vocabularios abiertos enlazados (LOV).
