Hague, 29-30 October 2009

Following the success of the first International Seminar on UDC in 2007,
this the second in a series of biennial conferences is entitled
"Classification at a
Crossroads: Multiple Directions to Usability" and will take place on
29-30 October 2009 in the UDC headquarters at the Koninklijke

The 2009 Seminar aims to explore how new developments in information
standards and technology influence and affect applications and services
using classification, Universal Decimal Classification in particular,
and its relationships to other systems.

The conference programme will highlight many ways in which
classification use can be improved. Attention will be paid to the
applications of classification schemes, UDC in particular, in supporting
multilingual access, user-friendly representations of classification in
resource discovery and semantic searching expansion and classification
application across distributed systems.

Papers are now invited from classification researchers and
practitioners, as well as information systems managers on the following
topics:

1. classification and semantic technologies 2. classification in
supporting information integration 3. verbal and multilingual access to
classification 4. classification authority control and library systems
