Free downloads of Issue 1 of BRAKOR

The first issue of The Barrington Report on Advanced Knowledge Organization
and Retrieval (BRAKOR) is now available for free downloading at
http://www.KMconnection.com in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format.

The theme of the inaugural issue is knowledge organization and faceted
classification.

The first issue features the following articles and departments:

* Why knowledge organization plays a key role in enterprise productivity and
competitiveness (Philip C. Murray)

* Analysis of the role of bibliographic classification in emerging
enterprise knowledge organization requirements (Claudio Gnoli)

* A review of BlueBox's Image Information Toolkit (David Riecks)

* Perspective on trends evident at the DC2003 conference (Joseph Tennis)

* A review of Endeca's ProFind Search and Guided Navigation for the
Enterprise (Philip C. Murray)

* The first installment of "The terminology of knowledge organization," an
effort to build a reference vocabulary for the multi-disciplinary domain of
knowledge organization

* Upcoming events in knowledge organization (both commercial and academic)

* News items of interest in the domain of enterprise knowledge organization
and integration

If you are a member of other mailing lists devoted to knowledge
organization, please forward this message to those lists.

The next issue of BRAKOR will focus on the *processes* of developing and
managing enterprise knowledge-organization systems (sometimes referred to as
"corporate taxonmies") and will feature the viewpoints and experiences of
several leading consultants. Issue 2 will also contain product reviews, more
"terminology of knowledge organization," and our regular departments (news
and upcoming events).

If you want to contribute to the next issue -- or if you have questions for
the experts -- please contact Phil Murray at [email protected].

Your comments, criticisms, and contributions are earnestly solicited.
