Hi all, since the topics are not obvious from the DC 2008 conference programme, I want to point you and invite you to our NKOS Special Session (not a workshop, as stated in the programme) om Wednesday, September 24th, between 13.30 and 17.00 hours (Room 1.204). The last of three topics, "Metadata registries vs Terminology registries vs Service/Collection registries: Synergies and differences", might especially interest you. In about 25 minutes, Marcia Lei Zeng, Kent State University, USA, active with NISO and ISO thesaurus standards development and the Open Ontology Repository initiative, will do the main presentation. An equally long discussion will be lead by Diane I. Hillmann, Cornell University and Stuart Sutton, University of Washington, USA, who implement a combined Metadata and Terminology registry, the NSDL Registry. This topic is coordinated with the DC Registry meeting on Sep 25th. Your contributions to this discussion will be highly valuable. The other two topics of the special session, Social tagging and KOS in combination and Semantic Web encoding (SKOS etc.) of controlled vocabulary in metadata, are further described on the wiki page: http://colab.mpdl.mpg.de/mediawiki/NKOSevents_2008_preparation Hoping to see you soon in Berlin, Traugott Koch -- ?......................................................................
