The names of products have been managed by corporate communications for years. It's relatively easy to "recognize" product names in brochures or web pages, to mark those entities with URI's and use those URI's to drive customers to product information. The New York Times facets and Library of Congress authorities and vocabularies are making people, organizations, events and other named entities tagged and usable in similar ways. \n \nProprietary solutions have made much of this possible before, but basing your organization of names and associated metadata on an open public standard like SKOS increases the interoperability and flexibility of how you take advantage of this data. Using semantic web standards makes it easy to connect your vocabulary data with other collections within your enterprise, or with others using SKOS on the public web, like those of the New York Times or the Library of Congress.\n? Managed vocabularies help organizations make money, save money and stay out of jail.\n? SKOS enables common vocabularies to be used in multiple applications in your organization.\n? Open public standards enable you to incorporate freely available public vocabularies into your organization.\n? SKOS helps attract external traffic to your published content.
