  1. 3rd (or 4th) NETWORKED KNOWLEDGE ORGANIZATION SOURCES/SYSTEMS WORKSHOP DL ‘00 San Antonio, TX June 7, 2000

  2. Purpose • Bring together knowledge organization source developers • Work across the various groups -- ontologies, thesauri,classification schemes, etc. • Discuss and support best practices related to using these sources in networked environments • Provide a “breeding ground” for collaboration

  3. Building a Community • Ad hoc group of vocabulary developers - 70 members from 10 countries - Humanities, sciences and social sciences - Annual workshops at ACM DL, periodic dinner meetings at ASIS; Web site (UCSB), listserv (CNI); listserv archive (OCLC) - www.alexandria.ucsb.edu/~lhill/nkos • Two main activities - Protocol for searching and retrieving from distributed knowledge organization sources - Metadata content standard for KOSs

  4. Protocol • Querying and retrieving from a networked knowledge organization source • Allow browsers and clients to access sources for which it has no previous knowledge • Work done at California Resources Evaluation System (CERES) and the National Biological Information Infrastructure • Have developed a protocol with RDF that requires a driver at the KOS site • Will work but not generalizable enough • Looking instead at LDAP

  5. Content Standard Background • Working group established after 1998 NKOS workshop in Pittsburgh • Data elements needed to describe a networked KOS for use by any browser/client • Based on previous work by Linda Hill (UCSB) and Mike Raugh (Interconnect Tech.) (Draft 1) • Draft 2 issued November 1998; some updates made from last year’s meeting • Still a work in progress

  6. Two Sub-Activities • Knowledge Organization Source Registry • Based on content standard • Self registry system • Building environmental registry as a pilot • Taxonomy of knowledge organization sources • Distinguishing characteristics of value to the user • Behavior in a networked environment

  7. Contact Information • NKOS Web Site - www.alexandria.ucsb.edu/~lhill/nkos • Linda Hill - lhill@alexandria.ucsb.edu • Gail Hodge - gailhodge@aol.com • Joseph Busch - jbusch@metacode.com
