International UDC Seminar 2009
Following the success of the first International Seminar on UDC, this second in a series of biennial conferences will take place on 29-30 October 2009 in the UDC headquarters at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague.
The 2009 Seminar will explore how new developments in information standards and technology influence and affect applications and services using classification, Universal Decimal Classification in particular, and its relationship to other systems.
Two eminent keynote speakers will address the conference: Prof. Karen Markey, School of Information, University of Michigan, a well known author and researcher in the area of improving online information systems and Dan Brickley, an advocate and developer of W3C Semantic Web technologies, who founded and chaired the Semantic Web Development Group from 1999-2005.
The "Classification at a Crossroads" conference will address the potential of classification in supporting information organization, management and resource discovery in the networked environment. It will explore solutions for better subject access control and vocabulary sharing services.
A call for papers is now open for researchers and practitioners working with knowledge organization systems, especially UDC. To submit your abstract go to the abstract submission page.
