The website says this is on 28th November, which makes more sense as there
is no 31st November!

> textual resources to visual content. However, it can be argued that

> The rise first of film and then television, has accelerated the growth of

> the emergence of the World Wide Web as a global 'library', and with 72
> hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, the need to develop
> improved approaches to cataloguing and indexing of visual content has
> become even more urgent.

> In the first session, this event examines some examples of current best
> practice: in image collection cataloguing, in IPR management for images and
> in the use of a standards-based approach to a national film collection. In
> the second session, three speakers will describe how computer-based image
> analysis and crowdsourcing techniques are being investigated as a means of
> by-passing the bottleneck posed by the need for human cataloguing and
> indexing. The afternoon will end with a Panel Q&A session followed by a
> wine-and-nibbles fuelled networking opportunity.
>
> The event is free to ISKO members and to full-time students. The fee for
> non-members is just £40. All fees must be paid in advance - there is no
> provision for payment on arrival.
