Steve,

Fair comment. I should have made it clear that I was just quoting your CILIP
Update article and that you aren't involved in the event, at least not this
one. ISKO UK is just keen to involve the RM community in discussions on the
wider issues in information management, which we took to be the theme of
your article. Apologies if we appeared to imply your endorsement of the
event in our notice.

Bob

> S. R. Ranganathan was the Indian librarian and academic who, in the
> 1930s,
> developed the theory of faceted classification. Faceted classification
> is an
> approach to presenting and organizing knowledge based on the
> identification
> of fundamental subject categories ('facets') that allows the combination
> of
> relevant values from one or more facets to define a compound subject (or
> information object) with great precision.
>
> At ISKO UK's KOKO event on November 5, theory and practice will be
> juxtaposed in a stimulating rapprochement long overdue. Speakers from
> academia will ask whether faceted classification is not in fact, the
> paradigm for effective retrieval and discovery of knowledge, and will
> examine the relative merits of a number of different approaches.
> Independent
> software developers, Jan Wyllie and Simon Eaton will talk about and
> demonstrate faceted classification as an intelligence analysis
> tool. Factiva, market leaders in business information provision, will
> demonstrate how faceted classification combined with visualization and
> user
> interaction lies behind their award-winning information services.
> Netherlands-based company Aduna will present their open-source
> facet-driven
> enterprise search solution AutoFocus, followed by an opportunity for
> speakers and attendees to mingle in a networking session supplemented by
> wine and nibbles provided courtesy of Factiva.
>
> ISKO UK KOKO events are free for all to attend. For this event, we
