    Classification and the arts: enduring practice, alternative strategies,
and contrasts with other domains.

    19th Annual ASIS&T SIG/CR Classification Research Workshop Saturday,
October 25th(?) 2008 - Columbus, Ohio CALL FOR PAPERS - abstracts due July
15, 2008

    TOPIC OVERVIEW: This year's workshop will focus classification within
the visual and performing arts. Within the arts, the lively arts present
unique classification challenges related to the diversity of meanings found
within a single "work". In addition, these works commonly occur within
bounded time and space, and each occurrence can generate a large network of
inter-related" documents" and accompanying material which libraries,
information centers and archives collect.

    Papers or poster addressing the following points are especially welcome.
What are the:

    . Enduring aspects of classification and subject analysis that are being
applied to organization within the arts?

    . Examples of alternative organization strategies, like social tagging,
within the arts?

    . Challenges for classification within the arts and how does this
contrast with other domains?

    . Future opportunities available to us as we attempt to organize our
world of complex documents and media?

    The workshop's format will provide for a few detailed research talks as
well poster presentations and informal chats. Researchers, practitioners,
and students interested in classification, both traditional and more current
methods, are encouraged to participate.

    FORMAT: The workshop will run from 8:30 until 4:45 with a box lunch and
snacks provided. The day will include a keynote speaker; two or three panels
each with a lead speaker; a poster session with plenty of time for informal
discussion with the authors; and the day will end with projections for the
future and a summation of the workshops "big ideas".

    Abstracts (500-1000 words) due by 7/15/08 to workshop chair.

    Full papers (3000-5000 words) due by 9/1/08 to workshop chair.
