dc.description.abstractIn the spring of 2013 the National Library of Finland took on a mission to build a national level ontology infrastructure across the public sector. Central to this endeavor is the open source ontology service Finto and the General Finnish Ontology YSO. The ontology is based on the General Finnish Thesaurus, originally developed in the 1980s in the National Library mainly for book indexing. Moving from index terms used in the thesaurus to ontological concepts of YSO has made it feasible to map the ontology to other resources. Similar transformations have been employed to thesauri from other domains. By linking the various ontologized thesauri together, metadata harmonization has been achievable across databases. YSO and Finto are currently in pilot use in several organizations. Today the National Library of Finland is adopting a new role in steering the development and future practices of indexing in the world of linked data.en
dc.description.abstractAu Printemps 2013, la Bibliothèque nationale de Finlande a pris en charge la construction d’une infrastructure d’ontologie de niveau national pour tout le secteur public. Le service d’ontologie en open source Finto et l’ontologie générale finlandaise YSO sont au centre de cet effort. Cette ontologie repose sur le Thesaurus général finlandais, à l’origine développé dans les années 1980 à la Bibliothèque nationale, et portant essentiellement sur l’indexation des livres. Le passage de termes d’indexation utilisés dans le thesaurus, aux concepts ontologiques YSO, a rendu possible l’alignement de cette ontologie avec d’autres ressources. Des transformations similaires ont été utilisées pour des thesauri d’autres domaines. En liant les différents thesauri traduits sous formes d’ontologies, il est devenu possible d’harmoniser des métadonnées entre différentes bases de données. YSO et Finto sont actuellement utilisées dans des projets pilotes dans plusieurs organisations. Aujourd’hui la Bibliothèque nationale de Finlande acquiert un nouveau rôle de pilotage du développement et des futures pratiques d’indexation, dans le monde du web de données.fr
