Call for Papers

Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) are central to all methods of information organization and structuring and have remained at the core of information retrieval and knowledge discovery. In the networked world a range of KOS that include thesauri and classification systems, Ontologies, taxonomies, semantic maps, etc are in use. KOS can also play an important role in Cognition & Learning, Information Interchange and Knowledge Management. The endeavour of the organizers of the 12th International ISKO conference will be to bring together the disparate KO communities on a single platform to facilitate exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas.

Papers are invited for presentation at the Conference.   The language of the conference will be English.

•    Classification Schemes, Taxonomies, and Categorization Schemes
