This XML Schema is a basic subset of the RDF-based SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) being developed by the W3C. SKOS is informed by ISO 2788, as is this XSD. Our XSD is an intermediate schema to be used by the US Federal Government until SKOS becomes a W3C Recommendation. According to the W3C, "SKOS Core provides a model for expressing the basic structure and content of concept schemes (thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, terminologies, glossaries and other types of controlled vocabulary). The SKOS Core Vocabulary is an application of the Resource Description Framework (RDF), that can be used to express a concept scheme as an RDF graph. Using RDF allows data to be linked to and/or merged with other RDF data by semantic web applications."  See SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification [http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/spec/],  SKOS Extensions Vocabulary Specification[http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/extensions/spec/] and more generally the SKOS Project Home Page [http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/] .
