Build SKOS taxonomies and thesauri on open standards. Glossary, editor, business view, qSKOS validation, visualizer, DCMI metadata, SPARQL and import/export, with provenance and governance.
prov:Agent). Contributors repeat — one dcterms:contributor triple per agent, per DCMI practice. An agent reference overrides the plain-text field on export.skos:Collection / skos:OrderedCollection — alternative groupings that sit alongside the broader/narrower hierarchy, not inside it.foaf:Document) and agents (prov:Agent). Link a concept to a document with dcterms:source in the concept editor; credit an agent in the scheme metadata.skos:Concept.Pick a second taxonomy (another project in your workspace) and align its concepts with this one using the five SKOS mapping relations — exactMatch, closeMatch, broadMatch, narrowMatch, relatedMatch. Auto-match seeds the alignment from matching labels; you confirm and refine. Export the crosswalk on its own, or the whole federated thesaurus (both schemes + the mappings) as one interoperable RDF file.
A crosswalk needs two taxonomies. Only have one? Import another, or
A staging bucket for unstructured candidate terms — a garage before the taxonomy. Import a flat list, link it to a taxonomy, then promote terms into it as SKOS concepts — each one as a top concept or placed under a parent you choose. Lists can also sit unlinked until you're ready.
The natural-language box maps common questions to SPARQL you can edit. Supported: SELECT/DISTINCT, BGP, a, prefixes & IRIs, OPTIONAL, FILTER, single-predicate paths p+/p*, COUNT/SUM with GROUP BY, ORDER BY, LIMIT. Prefix : is your base namespace. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Choose a file or paste below, then Import. Loads a SKOS taxonomy from RDF (Turtle, RDF/XML, JSON-LD, RDF/JSON) or a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel .xlsx). SKOS-XL labels resolve to plain labels.
Building in a spreadsheet? Download the CSV template — one row per concept; the broader column names the parent.
nl, nl-BE). Tag any single cell as term@nl, or add a lang column per row.
Connect an Apache Jena Fuseki dataset to publish taxonomies server-side and share short links. Everything else keeps working offline without this.

Suggest a term for the taxonomy. A taxonomist will review it. Attach supporting resources — documents, images, spreadsheets or wiki pages — to give context.
