We have a packed and varied programme including sessions on - the story of knowledge organization - traditional classification and indexing - the evolution of knowledge organization in the workplace - stories linked to sound and images - developing a knowledge organization community response to post-truth issues - building narratives through linked data; through social media; and around the world. To pick out just a couple of talks: Vanda Broughton is our keynote speaker on Monday, with the intriguing title "The unicorn and the rhinoceros, not to mention the thesaurus: ontology and discovery in the story of knowledge organization". We're also joined by Dagobert Soergel of the University of Buffalo, NY, giving us pointers towards describing processes, events and stories using ontologies, models and frameworks. The full programme, with information on registration, is on our website at http://www.iskouk.org/content/isko-uk-conference-2017-knowledge-organization-whats-story For the first time it's possible to sign up to one or both days of the conference. We're also hosting a meet-up on the Sunday night before the conference, and an informal reception on Monday evening, to welcome you to the conference and to ISKO UK. Hoping to see you there!

We have an excellent selection of speakers from home and abroad, representing four continents. Among many other presentations, we'll learn about the state of the art of open, linked data from Marcia Zeng and Phillipp Mayr; and in a later session, its application to ontologies in the Brazilian government from a team of researchers at the Universidade de Brasilia. We'll be looking at the applications of knowledge organization to fields as diverse as archaeology, social phenomena, the history of art and early Chinese periodicals. We have sessions on - the story of knowledge organization - traditional classification and indexing - the evolution of knowledge organization in the workplace - stories linked to sound and images - developing a knowledge organization community response to post-truth issues - building narratives through linked data; through social media; and around the world.
