CLASSIFICATION AND VISUALIZATION:INTERFACES TO KNOWLEDGE

International UDC Seminar 2013

VENUE:The Hague, National Library of the Netherlands

DATE: 24-25 October 2013

WEBSITE: http://seminar.udcc.org/2013/

CONTACT: seminar2013@udcc.org

The objective of this conference is to explore cutting edge advances and
techniques in the visualization of knowledge across various fields of
application and their potential impact on developments in the more main stream
bibliographic and documentary classifications.

We invite overviews, illustrations and analysis of approaches to and models of
the visualization of knowledge that can help advance the application of
documentary and bibliographic classifications in information and knowledge
discovery. We welcome high quality, innovative research contributions from
various fields of application including:

- visualization of knowledge orders (e.g. scientific taxonomies, Wikipedia)

- visualization of collection content, large datasets

- visualization of knowledge classifications for the purpose of managing the
classifications and working with them

- visualization of knowledge to support interactive searching, user browsing
behaviour (IR) and classification as an aid to information navigation

Specific topics may include:

1. Issues and challenges in visualization of conceptual structures and knowledge
in general, e.g. development of knowledge over time, shift in knowledge
structures (dynamic knowledge), interactions between knowledge structures,
socio-cultural issues, technical challenges (incl. animation, simulation)

2. Knowledge visualization models and metaphors: theory, methods, overviews,
analysis

3. Visualization of classification in: information searching and browsing (e.g.
search expansion, result display); visualization of knowledge in relation to
user information needs

4. Presentation and visualization related to specific types of knowledge
classification structure (e.g. faceted and enumerative hierarchies,
polyhierarchical and/or aspect classifications etc.)

5. Classification as an aid in presenting and navigating large datasets, or
providing an overview of collection content for resource discovery or management
purposes

6. Visualization as an aid to cross-collection, cross-language, cross-vocabulary
knowledge browsing

7. Relationships between classification data formats and classification
visualization

We invite two kinds of contributions: conference papers and posters. Paper
proposals should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract (1000-1200
words including references for papers and 500-600 words for posters). A
submission form is provided on the conference website.

Conference proceedings will be published by Ergon Verlag and will be distributed
at the conference.

IMPORTANT DATES:
15 Jan 2013 - Paper proposal submission deadline

15 Feb 2013 - Notification of acceptance

15 Apr 2013 - Paper submission

ORGANIZER: Classification and Visualization is the fourth biennial conference in a
series of International UDC Seminars organized by the UDC Consortium (UDCC) and
hosted by Koninklijke Bibliotheek (The National Library of Netherlands). UDCC is
a not-for-profit organization, based in The Hague, established to maintain and
distribute the Universal Decimal Classification and to support its use and

[KMDG-L] Information Literacy/Ibero-America.Celebrating 1442 contents-resources and the Declaration of Havana in English

This October 25th marks the 3rd anniversary of the Ibero-America Information
Literacy Project that began with the blog:
http://alfiniberoamerica.blogspot.com and has continued with the generation of
different Web resources: http://aurl.es/bd.u

To mark this anniversary, and as part of the Open Access Week (22 to 28
October), we want to share two news of great value:

* This week we attained 1442 contents-resources from the repository-wiki:
http://alfiniberoamerica.wikispaces.com, that reflect the state of the art of
this subject in our 22 countries (Latin America, Spain and Portugal), most
open access:

Articles (425) - Papers (309) - Books/Chapters (93) - Degree
Works/Undergraduate (30) - Thesis/Postgraduate (72) - Declarations, models,
levels and standards (32) - Presentations (140) - Videos (43) - Audios (5) -
Events (46) - Web Resources (34) - Experiences and information literacy
courses (213)

* The publication of the "Havana Declaration: fifteen information literacy
actions from Ibero America..." in its English version:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BweUYcipCswRUlUwMEV0dXJOZzQ (thanks to the
collaboration of Jesus Lau, Mari Carmen Torras and Sean Cordes), whose aim is
to present our vision and information literacy purposes internationally. This
English version is attached to and made to Brazilian Portuguese, Portugal
Portuguese and Catalan:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BweUYcipCswRN3lLXzFBMldXeVU/edit?pli=1

Therefore, we invite you to visit and report both our wiki-repository with
multiple content-resources, as this declaration in these languages,
considering that from Latin America can work together and make different
contributions to information literacy in the world.

[KMDG-L] Resent: KIM2013, Knowledge and Information Management Conference

KIM2013 Knowledge and Information Management Conference

4 - 5 JUNE 2013

		Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club, Meriden, CV7 7HR, UK. Theme  -  Sustainable Quality
Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club

Conference Announcement

KIM2013 is the OR Society's inaugural Knowledge and Information Management conference.
The theme of Sustainable Quality is relevant to organisations and individuals working in any sector of the economy. Knowledge management has become a key process in understanding organisations and their use of resources and, ultimately, quality is a major differentiating factor when considering goods and services.  Sustaining quality requires taking a strategic view that may present short to medium term challenges and knowledge management should be able to help address such challenges. For large organisations, knowledge management may be seen as an intra-organisation activity, but sustaining quality for small to medium enterprises may require inter-organisational cooperation. The different quality and knowledge management issues faced by different sectors and differently sized organisations, and how these are addressed in practice and in theory, will help to make this a very interesting conference.
We are extremely fortunate in having three highly knowledgeable and exciting plenary speakers, who will present very different and challenging thoughts:

• Dr. Jay Liebowitz, Orkand Endowed Chair in Management and Technology, The Graduate School, University of Maryland University College.
• Professor John Edwards, Executive Dean, Aston Business School and Editor of Knowledge Management Research and Practice (KMRP).
• Trevor Howes, Director, BRM Fusion Ltd.

Papers that relate to the theme and to knowledge and information management will be welcome.  Areas of particular interest include (but are not restricted to) the management of:

• services
• education
• health
• manufacturing.

Papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will be published electronically in conference proceedings (subject to conference booking and payment).
Submissions will be accepted for a special issue of KMRP and will be published electronically with DOI in time for the REF, subject to papers being completed (refereed, revised and accepted) by early July 2013. 
We shall also be inviting the submission of poster presentations.
Full details of submission procedures and poster presentations will be available soon.
The conference will incorporate the Tenth Birthday Party of KMRP and there will be a drinks reception, sponsored by Palgrave Macmillan and a gala dinner.
A bar quiz will be offered to delegates choosing to arrive on Monday 3 June.
We hope you will join us at the very Heart of England for a stimulating and highly enjoyable event.
The Marriott Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club has recently undergone a stunning £5 million refurbishment. The KIM2013 conference hotel is set in the heart of the English midlands in the rural Warwickshire countryside yet just four miles from the NEC complex, Birmingham Airport and the international train station. http://www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/hotel-information/travel/cvtgs-forest-of-arden-a-marriott-hotel-and-country-club/
