About ISO 5127_CLSS

The CLSS (Classification Scheme Sharing Service System) is a support system for CNKOS (Common CNKOS Semantic Description Standard), which is an extension to SKOS, with a SKOS specification for Chinese KOS inside. The CLSS provides an integrated , reusable and Semantic Web-oriented unified solution to realize quickly the Web version , Linked Data service , and Web service function for existing classification-like KOS (i.e. the KOS that assigns unique identification code to the concept, such as classification scheme, categorization scheme, standard code list, etc.) at China and abroad. For more information about CNKOS and CLSS, please see the “Formal Semantic Description Standard Family for Chinese KOS”.

In a view of NKOS, the ISO 5127 vocabulary, within which each term has a unique entry number, is a classification-like KOS with a simple structure. It will develop multiple-language version in the future. The SKOS and Dublin Core are suitable for its semantic description, then it can be fully organized in structured RDF triples, which is machine-readable and easy to process. Afterwards, the CLSS solution can be used to implement the ISO 5127_CLSS, including Web version, Linked Data service, and Web Services.

ALL implicit hierarchical relationship and related relationship between concepts have been revealed explicitly via SKOS description, the ISO 5127_CLSS can provide a thorough terminology service for human being and for machine.
