Are SKOS concept schemas ready for multilingual applications?
<16> Originality: This paper discusses the suitability of SKOS, specified and standardised by the W3C, as a knowledge representation language for the Web. It is shown that SKOS is not an effective knowledge resource for cross-lingual information retrieval.
Significance: The paper discusses a reflection on the W3C SKOS specification by questioning the usability of the emerging Linked Open Data project as a key component of the Semantic Web, and proposes some corrections and alterations as manifested by having the authors joining the W3C consortium.
Rigour: Experimental analysis of information retrieval results (precision, recall, F-measure metrics).
