Hello Caterina,

i think the scandinavian community working on Koha has very serious plans regarding RDF and linked data. Namely the Oslo public library with Magnus Enger, who is certainly reading this. And the universities in Sweden are also up to something if i am not mistaken.

Best regards,

Hi Eric,

Many thanks for your prompt answer!

May I also ask you/the list what is the general feeling about future 
developments of Koha wrt RDF, specifically to support the use of thesauri in 
RDF/SKOS (and its SKOS-XL). Lately, I have been receiving various enquires on 
this by fellow librarians,  which makes me think this should be direction for 
future development. What is your opinion about it?

Many thanks
Caterina

Caterina,

You are correct, Koha (which is not an acronym, so don't need to capital the 
whole word) can not import RDF thesaurus yet.

However, a script (or even an XSL file) could be written to convert AGROVOC in 
MARC21 which then could be import in Koha.

Hope that helps,

Objet : [Koha] Is it possible to use a thesaurus in RDF withing KOHA?

Dear all,

I am new to this group. Before posting this question I looked around quite a 
bit, but could not find a definitive answer to my question. I hope somebody can 
help me.

I would like to know if it is currently possible to use a thesaurus that is in 
RDF in KOHA, as an authority for topics. I work with the AGROVOC thesaurus 
(agriculture, fisheries, forestry and related), which is currently only 
released as RDF/SKOS, and I would like to know what is the status of KOHA with 
respect to the use of resources like that. In my understand there is currently 
no directly way to load or directly access an thesaurus in RDF in KOHA. Can you 
please confirm or correct me if that is the case?

Many thanks!
Caterina
