I am going to organize a standards Interest Group program at American Library Association Annual 2006 held in New Orleans, LA, United States on June 24-27, 2006. The program will consist of a few standards updates.
Does anyone have interests in presenting an overview about CIDOC in the program for about 15- 20 minutes?

In contrast with the data processed by natural sciences, the material in most fields of humanities is mostly unstructured. The structuring of such data is a complex problem that can be solved only by formal models and languages from computer science. However the application of formal models from formal sciences (especially computing) is itself a scientific problem as humanists have their own scientific culture not only in the argumentation and meta-theories but also in their way of communication. With the development of the Semantic Web the "ontology"-concept became an important "key" for data-structuring. Some ontologies were developed also in the Humanities, but there is still no overview of what exists, which standards are used and how well the current ontologies meet the users requirements. The current workshop aims to fill this gap and act also as a discussion forum We welcome original papers related (but not limited) to one or more of the following topics: * theoretical relevant models for humanities * formal prerequisites * specific ontologies for different fields in Humanities * collaborative tools for ontology manipulation * Semantic Web technologies for preserving cultural heritage * Semi-automatic ontology extraction * Ontology development in multilingual context * Practical use of ontologies in Humanities Organisers * Walther v.
