English abstract

The development of Semantic Web includes not only new technologies like web service, search engines, ontologies but also different worlds like librarianship and other disciplines that for hundred of years have been working with knowledge organization (KOS). This thesis focuses the attention on this type of tools: the rapid growth of means and digital contents on the Web has increased the needs to organize the immense size of information. Tools for knowledge organization like thesauri, taxonomies, concept schemas are fundamental for the birth and the development of the Semantic Web. In this thesis it comes taken in consideration and analyzed one emergent technology candidate to become soon standard recommended from the W3C: SKOS. The standards are taken in consideration that discipline the construction of thesauri, existing technologies are analyzed and some simple examples are modeled. Moreover other alternative instruments are analyzed for the knowledge organisation system, and some real applications based on the SKOS framework are introduced. Supervisor of the degree thesis: Prof. Renzo Orsini.

Italian abstract

Lo sviluppo del Web Semantico coinvolge non solo nuove tecnologie come web service, motori di ricerca, ontologie, ma anche ambiti più diversi come la biblioteconomia e altre discipline che si occupano da centinaia d'anni dell'organizzazione della conoscenza (KOS). Questa tesi focalizza l'attenzione su questo tipo di strumenti: la rapida diffusione dei mezzi e dei contenuti digitali su Web ha aumentato la necessità di organizzare l'immensa mole di informazioni. Strumenti per l'organizzazione della conoscenza come thesaurus, tassonomie, schemi di concetti sono fondamentali per la nascita e lo sviluppo del Web Semantico. In questa tesi viene presa in considerazione ed analizzata una tecnologia emergente candidata a diventare presto standard raccomandato dal W3C: SKOS. Vengono presi in considerazione gli standard che disciplinano la costruzione dei thesauri, si analizzano le tecnologie esistenti e vengono modellati alcuni semplici esempi. Sono inoltre analizzati altri strumenti alternativi per la rappresentazione della conoscenza e presentate alcune realizzazioni applicative basate sul framework di SKOS. Relatore della tesi di laurea: Prof. Renzo Orsini.
