NKOS Special Session at DC 2008

Since the topics are not obvious from the DC 2008 conference programme 
(http://dc2008.de/programme), I want to point you and invite you to our 
NKOS Special Session (not a workshop, as stated in the programme) on 
Wednesday, September 24th, between 13.30 and 17.00 hours (Room 1.204).

This session aims to demonstrate what NKOS (Networked Knowledge 
Organization) work could contribute to metadata solutions, especially to 
the main topic of the conference: Metadata for Semantic and Social 
Applications.

Three main presentations will deal with
a) KOS and social tagging in combination;
b) Controlled vocabulary in metadata for semantic web usages; and
c) Metadata and terminology registries: Synergies and differences.

As much time as the presentations will be spend on comprehensive 
discussions lead by a discussant/enabler/opponent, involving colleagues 
from different communities.

The detailed agenda, the names of the presenters and discussants, are on 
the preparation wiki page:

Hoping to see you soon in Berlin,
Traugott Koch
