Hi list, on the sourceforge feature requests Roberto Ledda post the integration of thesaurus interface in order to manage keywords in GN in february 2006.
We plan to develop such an interface using SKOS ([http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/#data).
](http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/#data).)Using this format to store should be consistent with XML/XSL mechanism of geonetwork ... And it should be quite easy to
add new thesaurus.
We plan also to use SKOS for place keyword.
I already got the Agrovoc (FAO) and Gemet (EEA) thesaurus for testing. Do you know any other SKOS implementation that I could use ?
Any comments on that feature ? Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Francois

Hi Francois,
This is great and I really look forward to see what you develop in that respect. Let us know if you need support of some sort while implementing and don’t hesitate to get your implementation strategy out to us! 
Ciao,
Jeroen

Have you looked at SIOC? I think the two are complementary; SIOC is in
the same kind of space as FOAF - an attempt to connect the harder core
ontology work to real-world use cases and casual developers. So it's
a bit more 'alive' than SKOS is, many of the same protagonists.
http://rdfs.org/sioc/spec/
http://sioc-project.org/
http://sioc-project.org/node/113 <- some sioc/skos integration.
This would be useful for stage 2 of the discovery cycle that goes,
"exchange metadata .... who are you ... exchange data."
There's so much to be gained in terms of ontology mapping,
language translation, by using URIs instead of strings for keyword
labels...
At this point I would like to travel back in time and explain why I am
here and put in a couple of hours getting the metadata model
we've been designing for internal use at OSGeo back in sync with itself,
show you the code and ask sensible questions about being able to plug
a PostGIS based backend (which has simple OO python interfaces) into
GeoNetwork and 'leverage' GeoNetwork for its standards compliant
interfaces... but this is going to have to wait a little longer! 
cheers,
