About the event:
Two events: (1) an organizing conference for the North American  
Chapter of ISKO, and (2) a papers on the state of the art of  
Knowledge Organization research.

The time is ripe for enhanced communication among Knowledge  
Organization researchers in North America. We are a diverse, yet  
committed, set of researchers interested in asking basic and applied  
questions on how knowledge is organized and how such organization can  
be improved through research. As ISKO members we are also are  
interested in forming a North American chapter in order to attain  
critical mass for KO researchers to share research findings, mentor  
students and maintain continuous conversations across the large  
landmass of North America. What are your needs as a Knowledge  
Organization researcher? What can a North American chapter do for  
your research program? Your participation in planning for a North  
American chapter will serve to enrich the research infrastructure in  
Knowledge Organization.
