ISKO UK Biennial Conference 4th-5th July 2011 - Second Call for papers

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 University College 
London (UCL) <http://www.ucl.ac.uk/>, 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:

ISKO is a not-for-profit scientific/professional association with the 
objective of promoting research and communication in the domain of 
knowledge organization, within the broad field of information science 
and related disciplines. Founded in 2007, our UK Chapter has been 
attracting lively and steadily growing audiences to its afternoon 
meeting series <http://www.iskouk.org/events.htm> as well as its very 
successful first conference in 2009 
<http://www.iskouk.org/conf2009/proceedings.htm>.

We look forward to your participation in this event.

Hon. Treasurer, ISKO UK
