year = {2018},
note = {The Fifteenth International ISKO Conference (ISKO 15) took place in
Porto, Portugal in early July 2018 at the Faculty of Arts and
Humanities of the University of Porto, Department of Communication and
Information Sciences. The main theme was “challenges and
opportunities for knowledge organization in the digital age;” three
sub-themes were: foundations and methods, interoperability and
societal challenges. A feature of the conference was a special session
devoted to the memory of ISKO founder Ingetraut Dahlberg. The
proceedings contain 105 formal research papers as well as abstracts
for fourteen posters and two workshops. Informetric analyses produce a
characteristic picture for an international ISKO conference, with core
concepts of KO and KOSs embracing digital age concepts of social media
and the semantic web alongside new library conceptual data models. On
ISKO 15’s bookshelf were articles by Hjørland, Dahlberg, Tennis and
Beghtol, and books by Ranganathan and Szostak, Gnoli and
López-Huertas. But also books by Adler, García Gutiérrez, Holland
and Verborgh and FRBR/LRM were present as were articles by Adler,
Kleineberg and Gruber. Core ISKO is joined on this bookshelf by new
articles from the ISKO Encyclopedia, by works pointing toward ethical
approaches to KO, and by works pointing toward KO for a semantic
web-challenges and opportunities for KO, as the conference theme
indicated.},
