I think therefore I classify - next ISKO UK event - July 16

The next ISKO UK event (a joint event with the BCS Information Retrieval Specialist Group) will be on Monday July 16th, in London. It is a one-day seminar on the continuing need for classification, exploring how it is taught and how it is changing to meet the needs of an increasingly online world.

The event offers to the chance to hear from leading speakers talking about the philosophy, teaching, and applications of classification and how researchers, teachers, and practitioners can adapt to meet the new classification challenges posed by the Semantic Web. Participants will be able to join a number of breakout sessions to explore themes in more detail as well as investigate automated classification systems in vendor demonstrations. Lunch is included in the cost (only £25 for members and £60 for non-members) and the day will end with a chance to network over wine and nibbles.

For full programme details, speaker biographies, and booking form see the main event page.

The next issue of Catalogue & Index is going to be themed on classification. While I am sure that you will want to publish the presentations from today's event yourselves, if you would like to submit a summary or review of the day then I'd be very happy to consider including it. Let me know at heatherjardine402@hotmail.com - and I hope you won't think me presumptuous for asking!
