Semantic interoperability in an international comprehensive knowledge organisation system

<p>In this paper, the functional and relational characteristics and requirements for various<br> types of semantic interoperability in a comprehensive international knowledge organisation<br> system are being discussed with regard to an analysis of the underlying retrieval paradigms.<br> Furthermore, this paper analyses the potential benefits and perspectives of the selective transfer<br> of modelling strategies from the field of semantic technologies for the refinement of relational<br> structures of inter-system and inter-concept relations as a requirement for expressive and<br> functional indexing languages supporting advanced types of semantic interoperability.</p>
