This talk introduces SKOS, a soon-to-be-completed W3C standard for publishing thesauri, classification schemes and subject headings as linked data in the Web. It presents SKOS in the context of the W3C\'s Semantic Web Activity, and in the wider context of the Web where standardization doesn\'t mean \"getting everybody to do it exactly the same way\" but rather means providing a platform for innovation and diversity, to unlock new markets and new opportunities. Finally, this talk takes a mildly inquisitive look at the value propositions for linked data in the Web, and how knowledge organisation systems might be deployed as linked data for better information discovery.
