Information in all forms is increasingly available, but using it
effectively requires a range of technologies for representing,
manipulating, and reasoning with information.  These technologies
comprise Knowledge Capture, the extraction of useful knowledge from
vast and diverse sources of information.  Driven by the demands for
knowledge-based applications, and the unprecedented availability of
information on the Internet, the study of knowledge capture has a
renewed importance.

K-CAP 2003 will provide a forum in which to bring together disparate
research communities whose members are interested in efficiently
capturing knowledge from a variety of sources and in creating
representations that can be useful for reasoning.

  - K-CAP 2003 will be co-located with the International Semantic Web
    Conference (ISWC).  For more on ISWC, see: iswc2003.semanticweb.org
