SKOS concepts

Concepts are the fundamental building blocks of the UNESCO Thesaurus vocabulary. Each concept represents a distinct unit of thought or terminology, enriched with multilingual labels, definitions, and semantic relationships.

SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) relationships connect concepts through:

• Broader/Narrower - Hierarchical relationships forming taxonomic structures
• Related - Associative relationships between concepts in the same domain
• Exact/Close/Related Matches - Mappings to concepts in external vocabularies
