The Second International Topic Maps Users Conference
Towards the Vision of Subject-Centric Computing
The vision of subject-centric computing is heralding a paradigm shift in how we use computers to manage information and knowledge. The basic idea is
simple: Organize information in terms of what it is about and it will be easier to integrate, reuse and share and (not least) easier for users to find.
An increased awareness of the importance of metadata and ontologies and a growing interest in semantic interoperability are part and parcel of the new trend towards subject-centric computing.
This conference brings together these disparate threads by focusing on an open international standard that is subject-centric to its very core: ISO 13250 Topic Maps.
Join us in Oslo for three days of tutorials, case studies, technical discussions and exhibitions to learn how Topic Maps and the vision of subject-centric computing is being applied around the world to solve problems of information and knowledge management.
