Have you ever wanted to use a SKOS concept scheme as a JSON dictionary, where the key is the familiar legacy code (skos:notation) and the value is the human readable label (skos:prefLabel)?  Is the SKOS available in JSON, but instead of idiomatic JSON it's [some unusable stew of URIs](http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/default/rdf-json/index.html)? If you answered yes to either of these perhaps skosdict is for you.

    ./skosdict.py http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators.rdf

```javascript

{

  "scl": "Sculptor", 

  "cot": "Contestant-appellant", 

  "ivr": "Interviewer", 

  "pth": "Patent holder", 

  "uvp": "University place", 

  "lso": "Licensor", 

  "drm": "Draftsman", 

  "rth": "Research team head", 

  "pta": "Patent applicant", 

  "dln": "Delineator", 

  "ldr": "Laboratory director", 

  "mfr": "Manufacturer", 

  "lse": "Licensee", 

  "tch": "Teacher",

```

Some examples are included in the examples sub-directory, as well as an

update.py file to pull them down. If you know of a SKOS file that would be worth

adding please add it, and send a pull request.
