CALL FOR PAPERS: Knowledge Organization - Pushing the Boundaries
ISKO-UK BIENNIAL CONFERENCE – 8/9 July 2013, London.

Dear Colleagues,

This will be the third biennial conference of the UK Chapter of ISKO 
(International Society for Knowledge Organization). Our previous 
conferences have attracted good audiences, and I hope you will take this 
opportunity to share news of advances in Knowledge Organization.

Knowledge Organization (KO) is not just a fascinating research domain to 
attract our foremost thinkers; it also presents practical challenges to 
each of us as individuals, sorting out the files on our desktops 
physical and virtual, searching for inspiration via the Internet, or 
participating in the fora of social media. But there’s a paradox: 
while KO practices permeate society, the name “Knowledge 
Organization” is known only to a few. Invisible boundaries separate 
KO researchers from the practitioners who could benefit from their 
findings, and also come between distinct fields of application such as 
records management, web design, librarianship, information retrieval, etc.

This conference aims to explore such boundaries, challenge them and 
advance our thinking into new territory. Practitioners as well as 
theoreticians are invited to contribute, along with consultants, 
researchers, teachers and students, all with an interest in the 
organization of knowledge and information. There will be a mix of short 
(20-minute) and full (40-minute) presentations, as well as a display of 
posters. Speakers are asked to provide a paper to accompany their 
presentations. The papers submitted will be peer-reviewed and published 
electronically on the conference website, together with slides and audio 
recordings. See more details at
