=== more about the event ===
We would like to invite you to a half-day event organized by the British
Chapter of the International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO UK)
entitled:
"Semantic Analysis Technology: in search of categories, concepts & context"
London, 3 November 2008 from 14:00 - 19:00 (registration starts at 13:15).
Venue: University College London, Wilkins Building, Gustave Tuck Lecture
Theatre, Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT
Cost: 20 GBP (students and ISKO members free!)
Categorizing or classifying information effectively has always placed
demands on those professional staff qualified to deal with it. But at
today's exponential rates of growth, it is almost impossible to keep up.
Much has been written in recent years of the potential of semantic analysis
technology which extracts categories, concepts and context automatically.
But how well does this technology work and what are the issues involved?
In this seminar, organized by ISKO UK in cooperation with the School of
Library, Archives and Information Studies at UCL, we will hear from six
presenters, each of whom will provide their own experiences of what many
information professionals still regard as something of a 'black art'. They
include SmartLogic's Jeremy Bentley, Luca Scagliarini of Expert System, Rob
Lee
from Rattle Research, and Helen Lippell, Karen Loasby and Silver Oliver
representing various media organizations, among them the BBC.
This event is the fourth in ISKO UK's successful KOnnecting KOmmunities
series, and promises some revealing insights into a technology which we may
all find ourselves using in the not-too-distant future, whether we like it
or not.

event visit http://www.iskouk.org/semantic_nov2008.htm.
We look forward to seeing you in November!
