Dear all
This to remind you that we are seeking submissions to the second biennial
conference of the UK Chapter of ISKO (International Society for Knowledge
Organization) which honours the life and achievements of Brian C Vickery, a
pioneer in our field. The venue is UCL <http://www.ucl.ac.uk/> in London,
and our theme will be: Facets of Knowledge Organization.
Just as Vickery had the knack of drawing out practical applications from the
lessons of academic research, so this conference will bring together
practitioners, theoreticians, consultants, researchers, teachers and
students, all with an interest in the organization of knowledge and
information.
Proposals addressing an original topic on this theme are very welcome, but
the following suggestions may provide some inspiration:
.Classification, information retrieval
.Semantics and the Web
.Putting the user first
.Evaluation and testing
.Society, networking and collaboration
.Models and structure
We are looking for a mix of both short (20-minute) and longer (40-minute)
presentations, as well as a display of posters. Speakers will be encouraged
to provide a paper to accompany their presentations.
Proposals should be submitted in English by 30th November 2010 at the
latest. For further information and submission, please visit:
