    The document proposes a new standard called the Simple Claim Organization System (SCOS) to complement the existing Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS). SCOS would establish a space of distinctions around claims to provide access to answers and explanations, moving beyond just accessing documents and data sets as with SKOS. It presents biographies of the authors Howard Burrows and Valeska O'Leary-Whitney and calls for action to further develop SCOS.
