AB Thesauri are conceptual tools useful to achieve semantic interoperability and reusability,which are relevant goals in the Semantic Web. Thesaurus standards establish, amongother issues, the constructs that can appear in a thesaurus. The ISO 25964 standard forthesauri, which supersedes ISO 2788, is the evolution of the ISO thesauri standard to aconceptual approach closer to the Semantic Web. However, it appeared when SKOS -the W3C Recommendation- was already consolidated as the standard for KOS(Knowledge Organization System) representation in the Semantic Web, includingthesauri. The evolution from ISO 2788 to ISO 25964, and the relationships betweenconstructs in ISO 2788/ISO 25964 and SKOS, are studied in this paper. From theanalysis of this comparison, a methodological framework, that focuses on the constructsupport, is proposed to evaluate the conformance quality of thesaurus managementtools. Target readers are professionals in charge of thesauri edition. A Semantic Webperspective is taken to characterize the effect that using SKOS to represent thesauri canhave on the results of the assessment. A proof of concept for the model’s feasibility wasperformed on two tools and the analysis of the results of this experimental validation ispresented. The conclusions highlight the model’s suitability for assessing conformanceto the standards concerning support for thesaurus constructs.
