ISKO-UK Conference 4-5 July 2011 - Facets of Knowledge Organization - Second Call for Papers

---------------- with apologies for cross-postings--------------

Dear Colleagues,
                   SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
This to remind you of your opportunity to make a presentation at the 
second biennial conference of the UK Chapter of ISKO (International 
Society for Knowledge Organization). This conference honours the life 
and achievements of Brian C Vickery, a pioneer in our field. The venue 
is University College London, and our theme will be: Facets of Knowledge 
Organization. The deadline for your submission is 30 November 2010.

Just as Vickery had the knack of drawing out practical applications from 
the lessons of academic research, so this conference will bring together 
practitioners, theoreticians, consultants, researchers, teachers and 
students, all with an interest in the organization of knowledge and 
information.

Proposals addressing an original topic on this theme are very welcome,
but the following suggestions may provide some inspiration:
•Classification, information retrieval
•Semantics and the Web
•Putting the user first
•Evaluation and testing
•Society, networking and collaboration
•Models and structure

We are looking for a mix of short (20-minute) and longer (40-minute)
presentations, as well as a display of posters. Speakers will be
encouraged to provide a paper to accompany their presentations.
Proposals should be submitted in English by 30th November 2010 at the
latest.  For further information and submission, please visit:

ISKO is a not-for-profit scientific/professional association with the
objective of promoting research and communication in the domain of
knowledge organization, within the broad field of information science
and related disciplines. Founded in 2007, our UK Chapter has been
attracting lively and steadily growing audiences to its afternoon
meeting series (See http://www.iskouk.org/events.htm) as well as its
very successful first conference in 2009 (See
http://www.iskouk.org/conf2009/index.htm).

We look forward to your participation in this event.
Regards
Stella Dextre Clarke
