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 build classification systems, taxonomies, ontologies, knowledge graphs and other knowledge representation to reveal patterns and make sense of the knowledge landscape in many domains. KO adds intelligence and value to the representation, processing, storage and transfer of information. More about ISKO UK...
