[MCN-L] Invitation: Classification & Authority Control: Expanding Resource Discovery, Lisbon 29-30 October
[apologies for cross-posting] ===Invitation for Registration === The International UDC Seminar entitled "Classification & Authority Control: Expanding Resource Discovery" will take place in The National Library of Portugal in Lisbon, on 29-30 October 2015. Linked data practices and techniques have opened new possibilities in exploiting controlled vocabularies and improving resource discovery. Authority data held in library systems often includes classification schemes. These knowledge structures now have the potential for being shared across the linked data environment. The objective of the conference is to explore issues in managing classification vocabulary in and between information systems. Particular emphasis will be on the possibilities for exploiting and sharing subject authority data in the linked data environment. Speakers include Michael Buckland, Barbara Tillett, Dagobert Soergel, Rebecca Green, Maja Žumer & Marcia Zeng, Nuno Freire, Maria Inês Cordeiro, Andrea Scharnhorst & Richard Smiraglia, Wolfram Sperber, Koraljka Golub, Claudio Gnoli, Marie Balikova, Victoria Francu.

Hi, Colleagues may find the following information of interest. Slides (pdf) and talks (mp3) from the International UDC Seminar 2013 - Classification and Visualization are available from http://seminar.udcc.org/2013/programme.php. The conference proceedings are published by Ergon Verlag (see table of content and more information at http://www.udcc.org/index.php/site/page?view=visualization). The International UDC Seminar entitled ClassificationVisualization: Interfaces to Knowledge took place in Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague, on 24-25 October 2013. This was another successful and well attended UDC Seminar with 115 delegates from 24 countries. The 2013 conference was devoted to exploring advances and techniques in the visualization of knowledge across various fields of application and their potential impact on developments in the more main stream bibliographic and documentary classifications. The keynote address by Prof. W. Boyd Rayward was followed by 18 talks. The poster exhibition consisted of four conference posters (http://seminar.udcc.org/2013/posters.php) and a selection of posters from PlacesSpaces: Mapping Science (http://scimaps.org/). The UDC Seminar 2013 was preceded by Knowledge Orders and Science, a one-day workshop organized by COST Action TD1210 KNOWeSCAPE Analyzing the dynamics of information and knowledge landscapes Workshop slides are available at http://knowescape.org/knowledge-orders-and-science-workshop-program. -- --- Dr Aida Slavic Editor-in-Chief, UDC UDC Consortium The Hague, The Netherlands __ -- New!

*Apologies for cross-posting* --- REGISTRATION CLOSES on 15 October --- Classification and Visualization: Interfaces to Knowledge International UDC Seminar 2013 - will take place on Thursday 24 - Friday 25 October in the National Library of the Netherlands, The Hague The 2013 Seminar addresses the issue of visualization, which is at the heart of the information discovery problem and an issue of concern for all knowledge classifications. The selection of 20 presentations captures the width and depth of problems that are shared between two seemingly distant research specializations: classification and visualization. By covering diverse visualization topics such as solutions for browsing classifications on tablet computers, building visualizations that can exploit classification as linked data and the theoretical foundations of visualization in information science - the conference programme seems to be a true representation of research interests at this very moment. The conference programme features many eminent speakers.
