Knowledge Organization Research Observatory (KO-RO) is a series of online presentations dedicated to research activities and projects in the knowledge organization domain. Events feature reports and presentations on recent and ongoing research projects that include, interact or affect the knowledge organization field. Research on the intersection of information science and computer, behavioural and social sciences as well as humanities will all be included.
Research Observatory takes place via Zoom, usually on the last Wednesday every month.
KO-RO events should be of interest to information science educators, students and researchers interested in knowledge organization topics.
In collaboration with other Chapters of ISKO, this series will strive towards international coverage.
