*ISKO UK Biennial Conference 4th-5th July 2011 ?????? Early Bird
registration *

Early Bird registration for the ISKO UK 2011 Conference
<http://www.iskouk.org/conf2011/index.htm> has now opened, with reduced
fees for bookings completed on or before Friday 29th April. After that
date the standard fees will be payable. You can find out more details of
the event and register via ??????Registration?????? on the conference site.

This multi-faceted conference honours the life and achievements of Brian
C Vickery, a pioneer in our field. The venue is the Roberts building
University College London, with the theme */Facets of Knowledge
Organization/*. Places are limited and this will be an intimate, lively
and engaging event.

It will include 25 first-class presentations, reflecting not just
current research but also the challenges of turning R&D results into
practice.

10 posters will enliven the networking breaks. Once again, we have
attracted speakers from several countries as well the UK, and are
delighted to welcome them to the Conference. Brian Vickery would have
been thrilled with the range on offer, and with the rich mix of speakers
giving their papers on topics from faceted classification to tagging
behaviour and the exploitation of linked data at the BBC. The revival of
Jason Farradane??????s work on relational indexing would have caught his
attention too.

This year the Proceedings will be published and sent to all those
attending the Conference, including not only the presented papers, but a
selection of papers either by, or about, Brian Vickery.

Our keynote speakers include Stephen Robertson, who, after leaving the
Aslib Research Department under Brian Vickery, spent many years leading
the Centre for Interactive Systems at City University and is now a
full-time researcher at the Microsoft Research Laboratory in Cambridge;
and Amanda Spink, recently appointed to the Chair in Information Science
at Loughborough University, moving from the School of Information
Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. Details of the programme are
now being finalised and will be published on the website shortly.

It is a pleasure also to include a session selected and hosted by our
colleagues in NKOS (Networked Knowledge Organization Systems/Services).
Of the other sessions shortly to be announced, there will be at least
one dedicated to an appreciation of Vickery??????s legacy.

We look forward to your participation in this event.

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
<http://www.iskouk.org/> 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>.
