I made Super Finto - a novel way of exploring and visualizing a SKOS vocabulary.

Finally got around to rebuilding my personal website: https://naturzukunft.de

It explains what I'm working on: open, federated infrastructure so small initiatives — repair cafés, community gardens, food co-ops — become visible to AI systems. Not another platform. Open rails.

Skosmos 3.1. has been released!

This is a minor release that takes the first steps towards implementing the new Skosmos in finto.fi . Among the improvements, this adds support for some SKOS features like better handling of collections, ordered property values, and deprecated concepts. It also improves the search result page, and makes it easier to deploy Skosmos with Docker.

@w3c
The RDF version of SKOS [1] does not contain a licensing information, other than e.g. SSN [2] or DCAT3 [3]. Is it permitted to distribute (parts of) it and under which conditions? Does the W3C Software license [4] or the W3C Document license [5] apply to it, and if yes, which version? Could a licensing statement be added?

i've written a few blog posts lately on semantic mappings, SSSOM, JSKOS, and automated assembly of data and knowledge. i'm also always very proud to do this by hand, without AI
