90 Minutes to a Great Taxonomy, Part 2 - Jay Ven Eman

This seminar presents advanced taxonomy topics and issues such as taxonomy maintenance, alternative uses and deployments. The Semantic Web and a host of related initiatives are headed your way. Will your taxonomy be ready? At the heart of the Semantic Web are words and phrases that represent concepts that can be used for describing Web resources. Basic organizing principles of concepts exist in the present thesaurus/taxonomy standards. Learn how to enrich your taxonomy for such knowledge organization systems (KOS) as the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS). Other topics that may be discussed, time permitting, are notation, facets, multilingual thesauri, and multiple taxonomies and thesauri. Feedback, suggestions, and questions from attendees will govern the discussion of these and other topics.

To RSVP or for questions, contact Janet Peros jperos@wlrk.com
