CLASSIFICATION AND ONTOLOGY: Formal Approaches and Access to Knowledge
International UDC Seminar 2011
VENUE: The Hague, National Library of the Netherlands (Koninklijke
Bibliotheek)
DATE: 19-20 September 2011
WEBSITE: http://seminar.udcc.org/2011/
CONTACT: seminar2011@udcc.org
The difference between bibliographic knowledge classifications and
ontologies resides in
their particular purpose/function, and levels of formality. However, they
are
both based on observation and reasoning (ontological analysis) and share
some
structural principles and elements. In principle, automatic processing of
knowledge classifications is significant whenever there is a need to support
intuitive services. For instance, ontology-like representations of
classifications are recognized as potentially important facilitators in
creating
a web of linked data (the semantic web).
The objective of this conference is to promote collaboration and exchange of
expertise between the bibliographic, the semantic web and the AI domains. We
hope to learn more about methods in ontology modelling and whether these may
be
used to improve and formalise the data models of bibliographic
classifications
and enhance their value in information discovery.
Papers are now invited covering the following topics:
1. Modelling and representation of knowledge classifications
2. Standards and solutions for innovative and high-quality classification
data
processing
3. Applications and implementations of classification structures as
ontologies
4.Theoretical considerations of the role of knowledge classifications
The proposals should be of interest to academic and research communities
dealing
with conceptual modelling, information systems design, knowledge
organization,
knowledge engineering, semantic interoperability and information
integration, and
natural-language processing. Read more and download the full text of the CFP
at
the conference website http://seminar.udcc.org/2011/.
Contributions may include conference papers and posters. Authors should
submit a
proposal in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200 words including
references, for papers, and 500-600 words for posters). To submit proposal
online go to the conference website.
Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be
distributed
at the conference.

ORGANIZER: Classification and Ontology is the third biennial conference in a
series of UDC Seminars organized by the Universal Decimal Classification
Consortium (UDC Consortium) and hosted by Koninklijke Bibliotheek (The
National
Library of Netherlands). UDCC is a not-for-profit organization, based in The
Hague, established to maintain and distribute the UDC and to support its use
and
development. UDC is one of the most widely used knowledge organization
systems
in the bibliographic domain.
