=== SWAD-Europe (2002–2004) ===

SKOS as a distinct initiative began in the SWAD-Europe project, bringing together partners from both DESIRE, SOSIG (ILRT) and LIMBER (CCLRC) who had worked with earlier versions of the schema. It was developed in the Thesaurus Activity Work Package, in the Semantic Web Advanced Development for Europe (SWAD-Europe) project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/|title=Semantic Web Advanced Development for Europe (SWAD-Europe)|website=www.w3.org}}</ref> SWAD-Europe was funded by the [[European Community]], and part of the [[Information Society Technologies]] programme. The project was designed to support W3C's Semantic Web Activity through research, demonstrators and outreach efforts conducted by the five project partners, [[ERCIM]], the ILRT at [[Bristol University]], [[HP Labs]], [[CCLRC]] and Stilo. The first release of SKOS Core and SKOS Mapping were published at the end of 2003, along with other deliverables on RDF encoding of multilingual thesauri<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3c.rl.ac.uk/SWAD/deliverables/8.3.html|title=SWAD-Europe Deliverable 8.3 : RDF Encoding of Multilingual Thesauri|publisher=|deadurlurl-status=yesdead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060616014639/http://www.w3c.rl.ac.uk/SWAD/deliverables/8.3.html|archivedate=2006-06-16|df=}}</ref> and thesaurus mapping.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.w3c.rl.ac.uk/SWAD/deliverables/8.4.html|title=SWAD-Europe Deliverable 8.4 : Inter-Thesaurus Mapping|publisher=|deadurlurl-status=yesdead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060430071751/http://www.w3c.rl.ac.uk/SWAD/deliverables/8.4.html|archivedate=2006-04-30|df=}}</ref>

*Some important vocabularies have been migrated into SKOS format and are available in the public ___domain, including [[EuroVoc]], [[AGROVOC]] and [[GEMET]]. [[Library of Congress Subject Headings]] (LCSH) also support the SKOS format.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://id.loc.gov/authorities/about.html|title=About the Library of Congress Authorities|publisher=|deadurlurl-status=yesdead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100103222746/http://id.loc.gov/authorities/about.html|archivedate=2010-01-03|df=}}</ref>
