About this Event
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 NKOS Workshop will be held as a virtual meeting over 2 days. It will focus on health and medical as well as overall knowledge organization systems on the following themes:
• COVID Crisis and KOS. Facing the world-wide health crisis with vocabulary control and standards such as medical classifications to support epidemiology, public health, and healthcare domains.
• KOS Development and Use. Assembling ontologies and classifications as linked data for discovery, analysis, and collaboration.
• KOS Relationships and Mapping. Encoding concepts and relationships as the basis for reasoning rules, for example to enable language and concept switching, vocabulary mapping, linked data, multilingual retrieval, annotation, and enrichment.
• KOS Ethics. Unintended consequences of establishing and promulgating culture-bound classifications and vocabularies as standards for organizing and accessing content collections.
