description: 'NKOS is devoted to the discussion of the functional and data model for
  enabling knowledge organization systems/services (KOS), such as classification systems,
  thesauri, gazetteers, and ontologies, as networked interactive information services
  to support the description and retrieval of diverse information resources through
  the Internet.


  Knowledge Organization Systems/Services (KOS) model the underlying semantic structure
  of a domain. Embodied as Web-based services, they can facilitate resource discovery
  and retrieval. They act as semantic road maps and make possible a common orientation
  by indexers and future users (whether human or machine). -- Douglas Tudhope, Traugott
  Koch (2004).'
