National Library’s Finto-service develops
- Technical infrastructure for publishing and use of interoperable ontologies and vocabularies
- Network of linked multilingual indexing ontologies of various domains
Finto.fi is based on open source Skosmos-software, that is developed in the National Library
- Finto provides an API for easy access to its data
- Finto is integrated to several information systems in cultural memory organizations and elsewhere
The Finto Family of Ontologies is a group of machine readable semantic conceptualizations, that are used for annotating different materials like publications, websites and datasets
- General FinnishOntology YSO forms a basis and structure for the linked ontology system
- Several domain ontologies built to extend the general concepts of YSO
- YSO and the domain ontologies together form the KOKO ontology cloud
- All ontologies published through finto.fi as linked open data
The aim of the Finto-system is to make data and services more semantic and interoperable and thus to provide better service for the end-users
The use of Linked data technologies assures easy reuse and enables the development of more intelligent information systems
