CONTENT ARCHITECTURE: EXPLOITING AND MANAGING DIVERSE RESOURCES
London, 22-23 June 2009

Biennial Conference of the British Chapter of the International Society
for Knowledge Organization (ISKO UK)

ISKO UK 2009 conference "Content Architecture: Exploiting and Managing
Diverse Resources" will provide a rare opportunity for researchers,
practitioners and innovators from all sectors to share ideas on the
opportunities and challenges implicit in the digitization and networking
of diverse information resources. The Conference will address issues in
the organization and integration of text, images, data and voice -
multimedia and multilingual.

Over the past year ISKO UK (http://www.iskouk.org/) has attracted large
and lively audiences of content and information architects, website
developers, knowledge engineers, information managers and many others to
its afternoon meeting series (http://www.iskouk.org/events.htm). The
conference aims to extend this wide audience to ensure that all aspects
of knowledge organization are represented.

THEMES of the 2009 Conference include:
• semantic interoperability across networked resources
• metadata models and architecture
• retrieval of still and/or moving images
• audio retrieval
• user enhancement (via tagging, feedback, etc.) of content
• multilingual access to mixed resources
• integrated combinations of media and/or content types

PAPERS ON THE CONFERENCE THEMES ARE INVITED from the academic and
practitioner communities and may present research, case studies or even
success stories! Contributions may be full length (5-10,000 words) or
brief (2-4,000 words). Proposals for posters may be submitted too. Full
presentations will be allowed 40 minutes, including at least 5 minutes
