Tanja Svarre I am an associate professor at Aalborg University, Denmark, where I have been teaching information architecture and knowledge organization at bachelor’s and master’s level for the past 10 years. I earned my PhD degree in 2012 at Aalborg University on the topic of automatic indexing methods within the public domain. My research interest in knowledge organization concerns automated methods and artificial intelligence, and how they can benefit workplace users in their interaction with information, but also the impact of metadata and data quality. I have been a part of the organizing committee of the international ISKO conference 2020 and 2022. I took my master’s at the Royal School of Library and Information Science, and worked for three years as a librarian at Aarhus School of Business Library before starting my PhD. |
