ISKO UK Hands-on Meetups: Introducing VocBench

Join us for the first of three interactive workshops where we hope to build a community of people within ISKO - and beyond - who are keen to use open source tools for knowledge organisation.

In this session, we explore VocBench, a free and open-source web application to build ontologies, knowledge organisation systems and lexicons using semantic web standards such as OWL, SKOS (and SKOS-XL), and OntoLex. We'll provide an instance for all participants to get the first-hand experience.

Speakers:
Armando Stellato, PhD, Assistant Professor at the University of Rome, Tor Vergata, working on research and teaching in the fields of Knowledge Representation and Knowledge Based Systems.

Phil Stacey, implementing document management and fire safety for Barratt Homes.

Eugene Morozov, technology consultant working with financial services firms on data governance and data management projects.
