I have created a short 8-question multiple choice survey to get any idea of the trends in interest in licesing vocabularies. It will be open through the first half of 2019. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DWQW5TY<br />Heather Heddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424216206886861070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094731596169096992.post-27299303544881413382016-10-10T14:53:52.824-04:002016-10-10T14:53:52.824-04:00Thank you, Wes, for sharing this.

Some of the vocabularies are very small, and as such may be suitable for a single facet within a faceted taxonomy. Also, the voabularies are in machine-readable form only, not human readable, so this is not so useful as a source of merely consulting another taxonomy to check and validate select terms and relationships. Nevertheless, it is an interesting source to note.Heather Heddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424216206886861070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094731596169096992.post-72551070087359765622016-10-10T13:51:40.787-04:002016-10-10T13:51:40.787-04:00LOV (Linked Open Vocabularies), hosted by the Open...LOV (Linked Open Vocabularies), hosted by the Open Knowledge Foundation, currently contains 576 vocabularies, their metadata, and linkage statistics: http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/<br /><br />LOV supports SPARQL, has a "suggest" feature, and displays a nice bubble chart of the listed vocabularies.<br /><br />LOV is an Open Source web application: https://github.com/pyvandenbussche/lovWes Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12320804220335394356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094731596169096992.post-10161356344849893832016-10-03T08:50:31.841-04:002016-10-03T08:50:31.841-04:00A very useful review!

I just have one minor correction: it does include commercial, proprietary vocabularies, see e.g. Ovid Nursing Subject Thesaurus, Thomson Reuters Business Classification etc. But I agree that the number could be much higher. Maybe this could be achieved through a cooperation with Taxonomy Warehouse/Synaptica?<br /><br />Best, AndreasAndreas Ledlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937546571110738301noreply@blogger.com
