This talk was given at the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2014). We discuss how SKOS is a starting point for developing an enterprise linked data strategy. We show how taxonomies can be extended by ontologies and linked open data. Establishing a Linked Data Warehouse build the basis for unified views on various information sources.

1. SKOS as a Key Element in
Enterprise Linked Data Strategies

2. Enterprise Linked Data:
Unified Views on various data sources
for example, based on
Linked Data
Warehouse

3. PoolParty Semantic Integrator:
Unified Views on various data sources
based on

4. Taxonomies are the key element for
linked data integration
based on

5. Example: Business intelligence dashboards
● Example:
Disease Prevalence Analysis
● Linking and analysis over
structured & unstructured
information
● Making use of
knowledge graphs and
linked open data

6. Example: Business intelligence dashboards
● Extraction of entities from text
○ diseases (MeSH)
○ geographical entities
(Geonames)
● Linking to DBpedia (HDI)
● Live Demo: http://integrator.

11. Getting started:
From CSV and Excel to Taxonomies

12. Text Corpus Analysis:
From simple tags to Taxonomies
Free terms (candidate terms) are extracted from document collections
… and asserted into the
controlled vocabulary.

13. From Taxonomies to Ontologies:
Start with SKOS...

14. … and apply ontologies

15. Use Schema.org or other ontologies to
extend your SKOS knowledge graph
