[Asis-l] Call for Papers, 10th Conference of the ISKO Spanish Chapter

[José Antonio Frías]

10th Conference of the ISKO Spanish Chapter

Ferrol, 30 June - 1 July, 2011

 

 

 

Presentation

 

The 10th Congress ISKO-Spain will be devoted to the reflection on the twentieth anniversary of the initiative and creation of the ISKO Spanish Chapter, the scientific organization for knowledge organization in our country, which originates and emanates from the International Society Knowledge Organization born in 1989 that stemmed from the International Classification Society created twenty years before.

This congress aims to tackle our most recent history at the Knowledge Organization in Spain. Therefore, it is necessary to include a historical run through the landmarks that consolidate this discipline in the academic framework, as well as the analysis and reflection of this journey into the research and scientific production. Furthermore, it will acknowledge the observations on the scientific work, deepening into the epistemology and methodology of the Knowledge Organization, and conclude with the current difficulties and future challenges that this complex field must face.

The goal is to celebrate a congress about the Knowledge Organization, but even more to recall how this discipline was shaped, point out the covered path, and discern where the gaze lies ahead.
