ASIS SIG Classification Research Workshop, Sunday, Nov. 12, 2000, Chicago
http://uma.info-science.uiowa.edu/sigcr


                  Classification for User Support and Learning


                     Call for Topics for the Idea Mart            New
deadline: August 1


The Idea Mart is a new feature of the workshop.  It will provide an
opportunity for informal presentation and small-group discussion of
emerging ideas, research topics and proposals, and prototypes of innovative
systems. This is a good opportunity to try out an idea and get feedbacks
Doctoral students in the early phase of formulating a proposal might find
this particularly helpful.

Potential idea mart presenters need to submit a 1-2 page description of
their topic suitable for inclusion in the pre-proceedings.

The workshop emphasizes both presentation and discussion of
ideas.  Participants are strongly encouraged to collaborate not only
through presentations and reactions to presentations but also with
proactive contributions as per the workshop guidelines that will be posted
at the workshop web site.


SCOPE

We seek theoretical and applied contributions that advance the thinking
about
classification and ontologies with a non-exclusive focus on the use of
these
tools for user support and learning in a wide range of application domains
such as mathematics, education and e-commerce. We seek submissions from all
disciplines concerned with classification and ontologies.


TOPICS (examples)

Knowledge organization schemas for complex information systems, such as the
Web as a whole, the NSF-sponsored National SMETE (Science, Mathematics,
Engineering, and Technology Education) Digital Library, or e-commerce.

Knowledge organization for intelligent information retrieval and question
answering to better support users.

Knowledge organization for natural language processing, information
extraction, summarization, or machine translation.

Knowledge organization systems as knowledge bases in their own right
providing
the information sought by the user.

End-user interactions with knowledge organization systems - visualization
and
browsing to assist in information needs clarification and query
formulation.

Concept maps in education, collaboration and information system navigation.

Tools methodologies and frameworks for assisting users in constructing
their
own knowledge organization systems.

Distributed development of knowledge organization systems.

Evaluating ontologies and knowledge organization systems - notions of
completeness, accuracy and reliability.

Evolution of knowledge schemas - conflict management, versioning and
automatic
adaptation

Ontologies and interlingua.
