Dear
Colleagues,
Are
you interested in the application of thesaurus construction
techniques, linked open data, schemas for structured data and
working collaboratively? If you answered “Yes” to one or more of
those topics, then the ISKO UK event on Knowledge Organization
in Learning and Teaching could be for you. It will be held on
Wednesday, 7 October 2015, at the Institute of Education, 20
Bedford Way, London. The event runs from 13.30 (when
Registration begins) until 17.30, and will be followed by
networking, drinks and nibbles until 19.00.
We
have a confirmed line up of speakers:
Phil
Barker (Heriot-Watt University and Cetis) talking about
schema.org for enhancing the discovery of educational resources,
Bryan
Johnson (Institute of Education) presenting a case study of
updating the IoE’s Thesaurus,
Madi
Solomon discussing the W3C Open Linked Education Community
Group,
Peter
Winstanley (Scottish Government) discussing linked open data in
careers information.
There
will be opportunities for questions, discussion and networking
over nibbles afterwards.
Registration
for the event is open now via the ISKO UK event page for Knowledge
Organization in Learning and Teaching.
