what?

This service lets you upload a thesaurus file in SKOS format and checks if the data is consistent.
Therefore consistency conditions defined in the SKOS specification are checked as well as some conditions that are mandatory for a thesaurus to be PoolParty-compatible.
After all checks were carried out a page with check results will be displayed.
Another service by the W3C exists for checking if a thesaurus is consistent in terms of the specification.

how?

The consistency check service is built upon the PoolParty import & conversion framework.
Since some checks require the data to be fully entailed, the data is uploaded into a temporary Sesame triple store with OWL inferencing capabilities.
After the checks have been carried out the triple store is cleared again.
