Networked Knowledge Organization Systems/Services/Structures (NKOS)

CFP, NKOS Workshop 2024

An NKOS Workshop will be held at DCMI 2024, the twenty-second International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications, October 20-23, Toronto, Canada.

Call for Participation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is broadly defined as the use of automation to solve problems by reasoning autonomously. Today, the popular AI method is large language models (LLMs). But there are many other automation methods such as rules-based, machine learning, vectors, n-grams, clustering, filtering, NLP (natural language processing), NLG (natural language generation), etc. that can make automation intelligent. While there is a tendency to focus on one primary method, most AI applications use several methods.

The NKOS Workshop is particularly interested in how knowledge organization systems (KOS) are being used or can be used to make automation intelligent. For example, one problem with LLMs is “hallucinations” where the application generates a response to a prompt that is “correct” but not true. How can KOS be integrated with LLMs to guide their responses so that they do not produce “hallucinations”?

The NKOS Workshop is seeking demonstrations of KOS that are being used to make automation intelligent in different disciplines. Demonstrations should be related to the application of machine learning, natural language processing, language models, and related technologies to knowledge organization including both the use of KOS in AI and the use of AI for KOS. We encourage demonstrations that are relevant to a specific discipline such as medicine, cultural heritage, environment, sustainability, etc. Demonstrations may be a live demo of a working application or prototype in action, a pre-recorded “live” demo, or the results or evaluation of the results from the application.

The demonstrations may be of early exploratory or speculative work, work in process, initial results, or more mature results. Each demonstration will be 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Demonstrations should include a brief overview of no more than 5 minutes. In person participation will be more productive, but virtual participation is possible.

Focus of the NKOS Workshop at DCMI 2024

Demonstrations related to KOS and AI:

Demonstrations may be of early exploratory or speculative work, work in process, initial results, or more mature results. Demonstrations may be a live demo of a working application or prototype in action, a pre-recorded “live” demo, or the results or evaluation of the results from the application.

Submissions

Demonstration proposals should be an extended abstract of no more than 1500 words. Include a short biographical note of no more than 250 words for each participant. Please submit demonstrations: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nkosatdcmi2024.

Proposals will be peer-reviewed by the Program Committee.

Program Committee


NKOS (Networked Knowledge Organization Systems) is an ad hoc work group of more than 300 international experts and implementers of knowledge organization systems. NKOS is devoted to enabling knowledge organization systems/services (KOS), such as classification systems, thesauri, gazetteers, and ontologies, as networked, interactive information services to support the description and retrieval of diverse information resources through the Internet.
