Tony Kent Strix Award – Winner Announcement

UKeiG is delighted to award the Tony Kent Strix Award for advancing the 
field of information retrieval to Stella Dextre Clarke. The award is given 
in recognition of her sterling work in developing first the Government 
Category List and then its successor the Integrated Public Sector 
Vocabulary - known as IPSV (or "ippsvee" to its friends). IPSV is now one 
of the mandated elements of the UK Government's interoperability framework 
and is used throughout local government and the more enlightened parts of 
central government.

Stella's expansive expertise in the area of vocabulary is also widely 
recognised outside government circles. She has played a pivotal role in 
revising and updating BS 5723 (Structured vocabularies for information 
retrieval) chairing the working party and building international support 
for the conclusions. Stella's nomination upholds the spirit of the Tony 
Kent Strix award - an outstanding contribution to information retrieval - 
practically focused but grounded in the best principles of information 
science.

The award was presented to the Stella Dextre Clarke on Wednesday 29th 
November, during the annual Online Information Meeting and was sponsored by 
SAGE Publications.

About the Tony Kent Strix Award
The Strix Award is presented in memory of Dr Tony Kent, a past Fellow of 
the Institute of Information Scientists, who died in 1997. Tony Kent made a 
major contribution to the development of information retrieval and 
information services both in the UK and internationally, particularly in 
the field of chemistry. The name Strix was chosen both to reflect Tony's 
interest in ornithology, and the name of one of the last and most 
successful information retrieval packages that he created.

It is expected that the call for nominations for the 2007 Award will take 
place in April 2007.
