Elena 68.1 4 The Semantic Knowledge Management System (SKMS) is a platform for structuring and publishing institutional statistical knowledge using [[Semantic Web>>https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Main_Page||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] technologies. It provides the transformation and alignment of methodological documents, terminology and classifications into a unified, machine-interpretable semantic environment, based on expert collaboration and expertise.

Elena 57.1 6 Statistical glossaries, classifications, and indicators are extracted, formalised, and semantically enriched through the analysis of materials collected in the document Library. These assets are then represented as semantic models ([[RDF>>https://www.w3.org/RDF/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], [[SKOS>>https://www.w3.org/2009/08/skos-reference/skos.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], [[XKOS>>https://rdf-vocabulary.ddialliance.org/xkos.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]]), with persistent [[URIs>>https://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] and alignment across international and national statstical institutions, and serve as the foundation for the preparation and dissemination of linked open statistical data and [[rich metadata>>http://cosmos-conference.org/index.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]].

Elena 60.1 19 Labour statistics is the first domain within SKMS and serves as a practical demonstration of the platform’s capabilities. Based on [[documents>>doc:working:Methodology.WebHome||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] from international organizations such as the [[ILO>>https://www.ilo.org/]] and national statistical offices, [[key concepts>>doc:working:Glossary.WebHome||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]], classifications, and indicators are formalised and semantically enriched.

Elena 58.1 21 This process results in linked open statistical data and [[rich metadata>>http://cosmos-conference.org/index.html||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] describing employment, unemployment, working conditions, and other aspects of labour statistics — aligned with international standards and ready for cross-country use.
Artur 19.1 22
Artur 48.2 23 The platform is ready to be enlarged by national statistical institutions and international organisations seeking to enhance the semantic quality and interoperability of statistical data.
