*CALL FOR PAPERS: Knowledge Organization - Pushing the Boundaries* *ISKO**-UK BIENNIAL CONFERENCE – 8/9 July 2013, London. * **Dear SKOS Colleagues, Most SKOS developments are highly relevant to the third biennial conference of the UK Chapter of ISKO (International Society for Knowledge Organization). Please take this opportunity to share news of your work with the rest of us, and/or alert any colleagues who may be interested. See more details at http://www.iskouk.org/conf2013/index.htm *Conference theme and topics* **On the general theme of “pushing the boundaries”, some boundaries that deserve challenge include: -between research and practice: how to achieve better synergy? -between one type of KOS and another, e.g. between thesauri and terminologies -between knowledge management professionals and IT professionals -between one scientific discipline and another (with new knowledge taking shape at the boundary) -between the resources on the Web and those behind our firewalls. In confronting any of the above, or indeed a boundary of your own choice, a contribution on any KO topic is welcome, especially if it helps us move forward. Topics currently of interest include: -Linked open data initiatives -Metadata management -Ontologies applied to knowledge engineering -Searching in a networked environment -Evolution of social media -Transmedia narrative -Semantic modelling -Vocabulary crosswalks and registries -Organizing and integrating images. *Submissions* Proposals should be submitted in English via the _Abstract submission_ <http://www.iskouk.org/conf2013/abstractsubmissions.htm> page, by 30 November 2012 at latest. Please provide an abstract of 300-500 words, and indicate whether you plan a short or long presentation, or a poster. You will be informed by 1 February 2013 whether your proposal has been accepted. For publication on the website, your full paper should be submitted by 2 July 2013. Editorial guidelines will be available from February 2013, on the conference website. Presentation slides too should be submitted by 2 July 2013. They will be pre-loaded on the conference PC, and released on the conference website immediately after the event. *More background* 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. The emphasis in our UK Chapter is to build bridges between the research and practitioner communities, in pursuit of which we attract lively and steadily growing audiences to our afternoon meetings. You can see past and future events at http://www.iskouk.org/events.htm, most with MP3 recordings. The proceedings of our first and second biennial conferences are available in electronic media at http://www.iskouk.org/conf2009/proceedings.htmand http://www.iskouk.org/conf2011/programme.htm respectively.
