  Skosmos is an open-source, web-based tool for browsing and publishing SKOS controlled vocabularies, facilitating indexing, information retrieval, and vocabulary development. It is being developed by the National Library of Finland, which uses it to power the Finto.fi vocabulary and ontology publishing service. Many other institutions worldwide use Skosmos for publishing their own controlled vocabularies.

  The upcoming major release, Skosmos 3, focuses on reimplementing the user interface with modern frameworks, featuring a new visual design, enhanced accessibility, and comprehensive automated testing. This presentation will demonstrate the current status of Skosmos 3, discuss its impact on Skosmos deployments and end users, and outline the roadmap for future steps.

  About Speaker:

  Dr. Osma Suominen, with a background in Computer Science, user interface design, Linked Data, and Semantic Web technologies, contributes to the development of Skosmos, vocabulary services, automated cataloguing, and AI applications at the National Library of Finland.

  Within its longstanding support to academic and practitioner communities the ISKO UK Chapter regularly adjusts its activities in response to the  societal and technological changes affecting the information profession.

  We are also committed to the promotion of the fundamentals of Knowledge Organization along with the transfer of the rich body of skills and expertise supporting knowledge discovery in current and future domains of application.

  In that spirit, we have put together a discussion panel comprising academics and practitioners who will present their views on topical issues.  

  We now need to build up an audience with the opportunity to interact with the panel. That way we can update our understanding of  members' interests and needs in relation to knowledge organization, and capture ideas on how to promote research and education in our field of expertise.
