ISKO UK 2009 conference "Content Architecture: Exploiting and Managing 
Diverse Resources" will provide a rare opportunity for researchers,

developers, knowledge engineers, information managers and many others to 
its afternoon meeting series (http://www.iskouk.org/events.htm). The 
conference aims to extend this wide audience to ensure that all aspects 
of knowledge organization are represented.

•	retrieval of still and/or moving images
•	audio retrieval
•	user enhancement (via tagging, feedback, etc.) of content
•	multilingual access to mixed resources
