What is Linked Data – Taxonomies and Thesauri using SKOS
SKOS is a standard framework for building and sharing taxonomies, thesauri, and other types of controlled vocabularies. When using SKOS in combination with Linked Data principles and RDF, data interoperability across data silos is enhanced.

The training combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises, ensuring that attendees can apply what they learn to real-world scenarios in various domains.
