The 7th NKOS workshop at ECDL explores the potential of Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS), such as classification systems, taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies, and lexical databases. These tools attempt to model the underlying semantic structure of a domain for purposes of information retrieval, knowledge discovery, language engineering, and the semantic web. The workshop provides an opportunity to report and discuss projects, research, and development related to Networked Knowledge Organization Systems/Services in next-generation digital libraries.
The workshop would address the general themes presented below, although the workshop is not limited to the predefined topics and remains open to other issues emerging from presentation proposals:
The workshop is planned to consist of an introduction, technical presentations, a poster session, and a concluding directed discussion. We welcome submissions of extended abstracts, for details see call for papers
An open call for papers and posters will be combined with selected invitations from major projects and demonstrations. The workshop is planned to consist of an introduction, technical presentations, a poster session, and a concluding directed discussion. The program committee will assist the review process as first-tier reviewers. The organisers will coordinate the process. The organisers and program committee will promote the workshop through their various contacts and discussion lists.
Indicative agenda structure, covering approximately 8 hours, including lunch and breaks:
Session 1: Welcome and introduction (hrs 0:30)
Session 2: Presentations drawing on user and application oriented themes outlined above (hrs: 2)
Session 3: Open Session without predefined topic for issues emerging from the cfp (hrs: 1)
Session 4: Presentations focusing on technical and standards related issues (hrs: 2)
Session 5: Poster session with short presentations, mingling and discussions (hrs 1)
Session 6: Concluding directed discussion, including options for co-operation (hrs 0.30)
Supporting material for the workshop would, following standard NKOS practice, be available via the NKOS website. This would include abstracts of presentations, information on participants, list of resources, projects and plans for the workshop before the conference. After the workshop, copies of presentations will be made available on the website and via the main NKOS network website.
Previous NKOS workshops have resulted in journal special issues (see References). Authors presenting significant results at the workshop will be encouraged to submit papers for consideration in future issues of the Journal of Digital Information (Koch and Tudhope are JoDI theme editors for Information Discovery) and New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia (Tudhope is Editor).

Marianne Lykke Nielsen holds a first degree in Librarianship (1983) and a MSc in Library and Information Science (1992) from the Royal School of Library and Information Science, Denmark. She received a PhD from Åbo Akademi University, Department of Information Studies, Finland in 2002. From 1994 she is Associate Professor at the Royal School of Library and Information Science, Denmark. She serves as Professor II at the Faculty of Journalism, Library and Information Science, Oslo University College, and as Visiting Professor at the Department of Information Studies at Åbo Academy University. From 1983 and 1994 she worked as information specialist in private and national organizations: FAO (Chile); CPEIP (Chile), APV Pasilac (Denmark), and Aalborg Business College (Denmark), with responsibilities in the area of information retrieval and design of information retrieval systems and domain-specific, in-house thesauri. Her principal teaching areas are metadata, indexing and knowledge organization systems (KOS). Her present research activities concentrate about design, construction methodologies, and use of thesauri and taxonomies in digital libraries and other retrieval systems. She collaborates with the Computer Science Department, Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science, Portland State University to develop and evaluate indexing method based on up-marking of texts' semantic components. She works together with Glamorgan University and English Heritage to evaluate the ontology for cross-searching and retrieval of structured as well as unstructured archaeological data sets. She has carried out consultancy work for several Danish companies and organizations concerning design and evaluation of KOS. She is co-editor of Danish Library Research, and in the editorial board of New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia. She serves as a reviewer for various journals and international programme committees. She is member of the ISO Records Management Metadata Working Group, and the Danish Research Network of E-gov IT Architecture.
