Building a Meaningful Web: From Traditional Knowledge Organization Systems to New Semantic Tools: The 6th Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) Workshop

This Networked Knowledge Organization Systems/Services (NKOS) workshop (the 6th in the series: http://nkos.slis.kent.edu/) will focus on the transformation of traditional knowledge organization systems (KOSs), such as classification schemes and thesauri, to new forms of knowledge representation such as ontologies, topic maps, and semantic Web components, where relationships between concepts are richer and more extensive and in which the requirements of computer processing are met. The session will include discussion of the contribution of principles from more traditional practices to the design of new knowledge organization systems and exploitation of the extensive intellectual capital available in traditional KOSs in the development of new forms of KOSs.
