Hi all,
Picking up on Phill's comments - it's been a very long time since we did anything on Vocabulary management and related issues. There was a conference organised by the British Postal Museum and Archive some years back, but there seems to have been very little since. Recently, the discussion has resurfaced from a number of angles:
1. This discussion about SHIC and the National Curriculum
2. Discussions with the picture library community about IPTC headers and keywording for discovery/sale of images
3. Discussions about ontology-based search/browse methodologies (like the JISC-funded ASAP Prototype - http://www.igsl.co.uk/xxp/asap_prototype/)
4. Projects like EUROPEANA INSIDE (www.europeanainside.eu) which intend to make use of structured vocabularies to promote machine-to-machine transfer & aggregation
5. The development of the Ontology Library Service in Finland (http://www.seco.tkk.fi/services/onki/)
6. The fascinating work that the BM and partners are doing for the ResearchSpace project to support semantically-rich browse interfaces (http://www.researchspace.org/)
7. Google Semantics
&c.
I know that discussions of ontologies are really just part of the broader discussion of linked open data and the semantic web, but with all of this going on, is there a case for a one-day event or meeting to discuss all of these developments and look at the idea of developing a sector-specific ontology service based on the Knowledge Integration vocab bank?
All best,
Nick

Great to hear all the interest in structured vocabs and related services.
To note on the education front, http://culturegrid.lexaurus.net/culturegrid/browse, also holds a copy of the Joint Academic Coding System (v1.7), which is a classification scheme for Higher Education courses.
(Use of JACS is being trialled for classifying collections from University Museums held within the Culture Grid, as part of the JISC funded project 'Contextual Wrappers, led by The Fitzwilliam Museum - http://contextualwrappers2.wordpress.com/about/)

How about doing a mapping from SHIC to ICONCLASS?
How large is SHIC? With a bit of effort it shouldn't be too much of a job. I would gladly volunteer some effort from the ICONCLASS side.
We could set up a collaborative effort to crowd-classify SHIC if anyone is interested...
