International UDC Seminar 2011
Classification & Ontology is the third biennial conference in a series of UDC Seminars organized by the UDC Consortium and hosted by The National Library of the Netherlands.
Ontology-like representations of classifications are recognized as potentially important facilitators in creating a web of linked data (the Semantic Web).The objective of this conference is to promote collaboration and exchange of expertise between different fields dealing with knowledge classifications: bibliographic, web and AI.
The highlight of the programme is a keynote address `On being the same` by Prof. Patrick Hayes, one of the key players in the Semantic Web initiative. His talk is followed by an outstanding selection of speakers from the domains of web technology, ontology, knowledge organization and bibliographic classification.
