Description of "Insert narrower collections in a valid SKOS/RDF-XML file" service

Files containing "skos:Collection" or "isothes:ConceptGroup" or "Collection" type "rdf:Description" or "ConceptGroup" type "rdf:Description" are processed by this service.


The hierarchical relationship between a collection A and a collection B is expressed using the "isothes:superGroup" property. The presence of an "isothes:subGroup" property (which is the inverse relationship) at the level of collection B is not mandatory because it is inferred from the "isothes:superGroup" property.

However, the proper functioning of some applications (like Skosmos) requires the presence of both relationships. This service allows to insert at the level of the broader collection as many "isothes:subGroup" properties as narrower collections of this collection.
