*ABOUT THE WEBINAR:*

This webinar presents the modeling and publishing process of the
vocabularies for the UNESKOS project by applying Semantic Web technologies.
More specifically, the vocabularies represented are the UNESCO Thesaurus
and the Nomenclature for fields of Science and Technology. Both
vocabularies are published as RDF datasets with a structure that allows its
query and reuse according to the principles of Linked Open Data. The
webinar will demonstrate the application of ISO-25964 standard to represent
the UNESCO thesaurus using SKOS and the ISO-THES ontology. Technological
solutions used for the project will also be discussed.
