ISKO UK partners with the British Computer Society Information Retrieval Specialist Group for Search Solutions 2024. Search Solutions is the BCS Information Retrieval Specialist Group's annual event focused on practitioner issues in the arena of search and information retrieval. We bring together practitioners, researchers, analysts and end users to discuss the latest developments in the information retrieval community and to share insights between research and practice.

UK Chapter of the International Society for Knowledge Organization

We are a not-for-profit scientific/professional association dedicated to promoting the theory and practice of Knowledge Organization (KO). We categorise, distinguish, name and relate things in ways that are meaningful and useful, and help us learn. We deploy classification, indexing, taxonomies, data mining, semantic analysis, linked data, and other emerging technologies to reveal patterns and make sense of the knowledge landscape. KO adds intelligence and value to the representation, processing, storage and transfer of information. More about ISKO UK...
