BACKGROUND: The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) was introduced to the
wider research community by a 2005 World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) working draft,
and further developed and refined in a 2009 W3C recommendation. Since then, SKOS
has become the de facto standard for representing and sharing thesauri, lexicons,
vocabularies, taxonomies, and classification schemes. In this paper, we describe
the development of a web-based, free, open-source SKOS editor built for the
development, curation, and management of small to medium-sized lexicons for
health-related Natural Language Processing (NLP). RESULTS: The web-based SKOS
editor allows users to create, curate, version, manage, and visualise SKOS
resources. We tested the system against five widely-used, publicly-available SKOS
vocabularies of various sizes and found that the editor is suitable for the
development and management of small to medium-size lexicons. Qualitative testing
has focussed on using the editor to develop lexical resources to drive NLP
applications in two domains. First, developing a lexicon to support an Electronic
Health Record-based NLP system for the automatic identification of pneumonia
symptoms. Second, creating a taxonomy of lexical cues associated with Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) diagnoses with the goal of
facilitating the automatic identification of symptoms associated with depression
from short, informal texts. CONCLUSIONS: The SKOS editor we have developed is -
to the best of our knowledge - the first free, open-source, web-based, SKOS
editor capable of creating, curating, versioning, managing, and visualising SKOS
lexicons.
