This looks very interesting! Is this a thesaurus that can be used for translation of words across languages? Is there some way to quickly have a demo or view the data? I browsed some files, and I see entries of the kind:
:xf5bfa ww:displayLabel "de:Feliner_Diabetes_mellitus" . :xf5bfa ww:type wwct:OTHER . :xf5bfa rdf:type skos:Concept . :xf5bfa skos:inScheme < http://brightbyte.de/vocab/wikiword/dataset/*/animals:thesaurus which tells me that Diabetes Mellitus of a feline is a concept... I was interested in the animal thesaurus as a way to translate animal names across languages... there are a lot of files, and I don't know if I am looking at the right ones. Perhaps if you pointed us to the most interesting / understandable datasets, it would be very useful. I am sorry if the above remarks seem superficial; I cannot read German well enough to read dissertations in it... Best, Luca.
