What is it about?
The article shows how a thesaurus can be represented with SKOS, what equivalences can be established between the elements from both standards (ISO 25964, SKOS), making it clear which ones are not in doubt, and where you may have to think a little harder. It is illustrated with three examples, corresponding to three relevant thesauri, Agrovoc, EuroVoc, and UNESCO, for which it is analyzed with detail the mappings for each of them. With this guide, and the examples, there are enough elements to decide how a thesaurus can be represented with SKOS, even in the most open cases.

Why is it important?
This article can be used as a guide for representing a thesaurus with SKOS. The available choices are illustrated with the three example thesauri. Having examples is always a good help for making decisions.
