What we’re about
Knowledge Organization London is a meetup group of ISKO UK, the UK Chapter of the International Society for Knowledge Organization. Our events provide an opportunity for specialists from different information domains and industries to meet in an informal and friendly atmosphere and share their experiences, ideas and solutions for improving access to information and knowledge. Within the broad field of information and knowledge organization, information architecture and information management, we discuss underlying technologies, tools, and standards, including metadata, semantic technologies, ontologies and knowledge graphs. We often address various aspects of controlled vocabularies, particularly knowledge organization systems, including classifications, taxonomies, thesauri, and subject heading systems. In line with the ISKO UK Privacy Policy, the ISKO UK Event Team organises and manages the attendance of the Knowledge Organization London meetup group events.

"Stepping back" is a common technique when new ideas threaten to overwhelm old thinking. The current excitement, and sometimes anxiety, around AI is akin to the kind of chaotic synergies that took place when electricity first came into common use. People fear for their jobs, make mistakes that cause injury, while at the same time marvel at the "new magic".
