简单知识组织系统（SKOS）为表达知识组织系统（kos）提供了数据模型和词汇表，例如语义Web应用程序中的同义词表和分类方案。本文介绍了SKOS的主要组成部分及其在Web本体语言（OWL）中的正式表达，并对万维网联盟（W3C）的语义网部署（SWD）工作组在2006年至2009年间将SKOS提升到W3C推荐标准的设计决策进行了广泛的描述。本文解释了关键的设计原则，如“最小本体论承诺”，并系统地引用了影响SKOS组件设计的需求和问题。通过重构围绕可选特性和设计选项的讨论，并呈现设计决策的基本原理，本文旨在深入了解SKOS是如何出现的，以及为什么会出现。假设SKOS，像任何其他成功的技术一样，最终可能会受到修订和改进，这里提供的关键说明可能会帮助未来的编辑更深入地理解这样的任务。(C) 2013年作者。Elsevier B.V.版权所有。
Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) provides a data model and vocabulary for expressing Knowledge Organization Systems (KOSs) such as thesauri and classification schemes in Semantic Web applications. This paper presents the main components of SKOS and their formal expression in Web Ontology Language (OWL), providing an extensive account of the design decisions taken by the Semantic Web Deployment (SWD) Working Group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which between 2006 and 2009 brought SKOS to the status of W3C Recommendation. The paper explains key design principles such as "minimal ontological commitment" and systematically cites the requirements and issues that influenced the design of SKOS components.By reconstructing the discussion around alternative features and design options and presenting the rationale for design decisions, the paper aims at providing insight into how SKOS turned out as it did, and why. Assuming that SKOS, like any other successful technology, may eventually be subject to revision and improvement, the critical account offered here may help future editors approach such a task with deeper understanding.
