Dear list members
There is less than a month to go before our seminar on Classification 
and places are filling up fast, so don’t forget to register while there 
is still chance.

Classification is at the heart of ISKO's mission, and we have secured an 
array of first-class speakers. The aim is to help us individually and 
collectively review our approaches to the subject.  After the main 
presentations (see the latest programme at 
http://www.iskouk.org/events/classification_july2012.htm ) there will be 
four breakout sessions, giving everyone the opportunity to participate 
in the evolution of ideas.

The topics for the breakout sessions will be finalised based on chosen 
preferences at the time of registration. If you have thoughts on this, 
please enter them into the comments box when you register.
The event is organized jointly between ISKO UK and the Information 
Retrieval Specialist Group  (IRSG) of the British Computer Society. In 
the breaks we hope to arrange demonstrations from vendors of software 
designed to handle classification automatically.

The event fee (which includes lunch and refreshments) is 25 pounds to 
ISKO and BCS members and to full-time students and just 60 pounds for 
non-members, payable in advance.  To reserve a place and see more

British Computer Society
