Abstract
The paper presents the main features of RDF, a common data model for describing resources on the web and the possibilities of its use for representing normative and authoritative files in the library and information science domain. The paper will focus on the implementation of Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) and its extended vocabulary for representation of relationships between lexical labels, SKOS eXtension for Labels (SKOSXL). SKOS is a data model based on RDF and expresses the basic semantic structure common to all controlled structured dictionaries such as thesauri, classification systems, taxonomies and subject headings lists. Its purpose is to enable the expression and publication of existing structured vocabularies on the web in order to achieve their global interoperability. Furthermore, some solutions from Metadata Authority Description Schema in DF(MADS/RDF) are presented and commented. MADS/RDF is the product of the Library of Congress and the first RDF ontology for representation of normative files in heritage institutions. The second part of the paper discusses the representation of UNIMARC/A format in RDF data model. A corporate heading from the CROLIST authority file is modeled as an example of using various elements from different vocabularies.
