Semantic Analysis Technology, ISKO UK event - London, 3 Nov 2008

***Apologies for cross-posting***

We would like to invite you to a half-day event organized by the British Chapter 
of the International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO UK) entitled:

"Semantic Analysis Technology: in search of categories, concepts & context"

London, 3 November 2008 from 14:00 - 19:00 (registration starts at 13:15).

Venue: University College London, Wilkins Building, Gustave Tuck Lecture 
Theatre, Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT

Cost: 20 GBP  (students and ISKO members free!)

Much has been written in recent years of the potential of semantic analysis 
technology which extracts categories, concepts and context automatically. But 
how well does this technology work and what are the issues involved?

In this seminar, organized by ISKO UK in cooperation with the School of Library, 
Archives and Information Studies at University College London, we will hear from 
six presenters, each of whom will provide their own experiences. They include 
SmartLogic’s Jeremy Bentley, Bill Porter of Expert System, Rob Lee from Rattle 
Research, and Helen Lippell, Karen Loasby and Silver Oliver representing various 
media organizations, among them the BBC.

This event is the fourth in ISKO UK's successful KOnnecting KOmmunities series, 
and promises some revealing insights into a technology which we may all find 
ourselves using in the not-too-distant future, whether we like it or not.

====== SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS ======

CONTENT ARCHITECTURE: EXPLOITING AND MANAGING DIVERSE RESOURCES
London, 22-23 June 2009

Biennial Conference of the British Chapter of the International Society
for Knowledge Organization (ISKO UK)

The ISKO UK 2009 conference "Content Architecture: Exploiting and
Managing Diverse Resources" will address issues in the organization and
integration of text, images, data and voice - multimedia and
multilingual.

Among the highlights will be keynote addresses from Clifford Lynch, Director of 
the Coalition for Networked Information, and Professor David Crystal, the 
renowned author, linguist and broadcaster.

A wide spectrum of contributors from across the knowledge organization
sector will follow, ensuring ample cross-fertilization of ideas.
Networking will be central, in more than one way.

Over the past year ISKO UK (http://www.iskouk.org/) has attracted large
and lively audiences of content and information architects, website
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.
