Concept-based Extension of SKOS Defense Controlled Vocabulary: Techniques and Implications
Authors: , ,
Abstract: A controlled vocabulary is a set of terms that are utilized to represent knowledge in a domain. In the domain of defense, the use of terms such as “command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR)”, “armored personnel carriers (APC)”, or “biological and bioinspired structures for multispectral surveillance” denote the core competencies of domain experts and the depth of diverse knowledge. This paper describes the second phase of the pilot project to create a defense-related controlled vocabulary with a focus on the Russo-Ukraine conflict. Applications for data annotation, SKOS hierarchical vocabulary development, and vocabulary quality analysis are used to identify terms in text, express identified terms in military press releases as SKOS vocabulary, and assess its structure. The preliminary vocabulary is extended by 173 concepts. The quality of the vocabulary is validated against a SKOS checker of twenty-four criteria.
