    Eighth International ISKO Conference
    (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/isko2004/)

    Call for papers

    The International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO) will hold its
    8th International ISKO Conference (ISKO 8) in London, England, July
    13th-16th 2004. The conference will be hosted by the School of Library,
    Archive and Information Studies at University College London, Gower Street,
    London WC1E 6BT. The theme of the conference is:

    Knowledge Organization and the Global Information Society

    The keynote address will be delivered by Clifford Lynch, Executive
    Director, Coalition for
    Networked Information.

    Papers addressing Knowledge Organization and the Global Information Society
    from any of the following interrelated perspectives are invited:

    · Global Users and uses of Knowledge Organization

    · Theories of Knowledge and Knowledge Organization: feasibility of
    universal solutions

    · Linguistic and cultural approaches to Knowledge Organization:
    cross-cultural, cross-language and multilingual information retrieval

    · Information Policies, Management, Interoperability and Maintenance
    of Information Systems

    · Knowledge Organization in corporate information systems

    · Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Representation

    · Knowledge Organization of Universal and Special Systems

    · Knowledge Organization of non-print information: sound, image,
    multimedia &c.

    Academics, practitioners and researchers involved in knowledge organization
    are invited to submit abstracts of between 1500 and 2000 words by September
    30th 2003 to Professor I.C. McIlwaine, Programme Chair (see contact
    information below). Abstracts should reflect the theme of the conference
    and each should indicate into which of the above categories it falls.

    Submissions for poster sessions are also invited, again reflecting the
    above, and an outline description of the projected format should be
    supplied. These should also be submitted by September 30th 2003 and relate
    to the same criteria.

    A limited number of small bursaries will be available for students who
    submit outstanding proposals. Those who wish to be considered for a student
    bursary should indicate this in the covering email. Confirmation of student
    status will be required before the final awards are made.

    An international programme committee will review the abstracts, and authors
    will be notified of decisions by December 1st 2003. The deadline for
    submission of papers for the printed conference proceedings will be March
    1st 2004.

    The programme committee reserves the right to judge abstracts as more
    appropriate for poster sessions in preference to open presentations.

    All abstracts should be submitted by e-mail as rtf or plain text files to
    isko2004@ucl.ac.uk by September 30th 2003. Please include "ISKO 2004" in
    the subject line of your email. The name of the rtf or plain text file
    should include your last name (e.g. broughton.rtf).
    Late submissions will not be eligible for consideration.
