WORKSHOP
DL ‘00San Antonio, TX
June 7, 2000
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
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
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
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
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
