=== DESIRE II project (1997–2000) ===

The most direct ancestor to SKOS was the RDF Thesaurus work undertaken in the second phase of the EU DESIRE project <ref name="Desire Project">{{Citation |publication-date=August 7, 2000 |title=Desire: Development of a European Service for Information on Research and Education |publisher=Desire Consortium |url=http://www.desire.org/ |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725230823/http://www.desire.org/ |archivedate=July 25, 2011 }}</ref>{{Citation needed|reason=The Desire Project reference does not appear to directly address the SKOS ancestry statement made here.|date=August 2012}}. Motivated by the need to improve the user interface and usability of multi-service browsing and searching,<ref name="Desire Deliverable D.36b">{{Citation |title=Desire: Research Deliverables: D3.1 |publisher=Desire Consortium |url=http://www.desire.org/docs/research/deliverables/D3.6/d36b.html |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509135041/http://www.desire.org/html/research/deliverables/D3.6/#d36b |archivedate=May 9, 2008 }}</ref> a basic RDF vocabulary for Thesauri was produced. As noted later in the SWAD-Europe workplan, the DESIRE work was adopted and further developed in the SOSIG and LIMBER projects. A version of the DESIRE/SOSIG implementation was described in W3C's QL'98 workshop, motivating early work on RDF rule and query languages: A Query and Inference Service for RDF.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/TandS/QL/QL98/pp/queryservice.html|title=A Query and Inference Service for RDF|website=www.w3.org}}</ref>

=== LIMBER (1999–2001) ===

SKOS built upon the output of the Language Independent Metadata Browsing of European Resources (LIMBER) project funded by the [[European Community]], and part of the [[Information Society Technologies]] programme. In the LIMBER project [[CCLRC]] further developed an [[Resource Description Framework|RDF]] thesaurus interchange format<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://journals.tdl.org/jodi/article/viewArticle/34/35|title=Having the Right Connections: the LIMBER Project|first1=Ken|last1=Miller|first2=Brian|last2=Matthews|date=24 January 2006|publisher=|journal=Journal of Digital Information|volume=1|issue=8}}</ref> which was demonstrated on the European Language Social Science Thesaurus (ELSST) at the [[UK Data Archive]] as a multilingual version of the English language Humanities and Social Science Electronic Thesaurus (HASSET) which was planned to be used by the Council of European Social Science Data Archives CESSDA.
