  abstract =     {Vocabularies are the building blocks of the Semantic
                  Web providing shared terminological resources for
                  content indexing, information retrieval, data
                  exchange, and content integration. Most semantic web
                  applications in practical use are based on
                  lightweight ontologies and, more recently, on the
                  Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) data
                  model being standardized by W3C. Easy and
                  cost-efficient publication, integration, and
                  utilization methods of vocabulary services are
                  therefore highly important for the proliferation of
                  the Semantic Web.  This paper presents the ONKI SKOS
                  Server for these tasks. Using ONKI SKOS, a SKOS
                  vocabulary or a lightweight ontology can be
                  published on the web as ready-to-use services in a
                  matter of minutes. The services include not only a
                  browser for human usage, but also Web Service and
                  AJAX interfaces for concept finding, selecting and
                  transporting resources from the ONKI SKOS Server to
                  connected systems. Code generation services for AJAX
                  and Web Service APIs are provided automatically,
                  too.  ONKI SKOS services are also used for semantic
                  query expansion in information retrieval tasks. The
                  idea of publishing ontologies as services is
                  analogous to Google Maps. In our case, however,
                  vocabulary services are provided and mashed-up in
                  applications. ONKI SKOS was published in the
                  beginning of 2008 and is to our knowledge the first
                  generic SKOS server of its kind. The system has been
                  used to publish and utilize some 60 vocabularies and
                  ontologies in the National Finnish Ontology Service
