Introduction:

The focus of the 7th ISKO-Spain Conference is on orienting users of
systems and applications of information organization and retrieval in
companies, public administration, archives and document centres, portals
or Internet services, databases and digital libraries. 
Knowledge organization has traditionally been centred on representational
objects texts, images and documents in general or on computer systems that
facilitate information retrieval. It is ever more apparent that there is a
need to take into consideration the cognitive, physical, and affective
characteristics of different types of people when designing applications.
Currently, with the availability of personalized systems that facilitate
the interaction between persons and organization systems, questions are
being asked such as: How to improve universal access to information? How
to obtain maximum performance from the management of knowledge in
organizations? How to incorporate users into the design cycles of
knowledge organization systems? How to respond to differences (social,
cultural, etc.) of the users of these systems?
