coli-conc: Mapping Knowledge Organization Systems

coli-conc is an infrastructure that provides easy access to KOS and mappings in a uniform data format on a single platform. It also facilitates management and exchange of concordances between library knowledge organization systems. The heart of the coli-conc infrastructure is the mapping tool Cocoda which assists in the creation and processing of intellectual mappings amongst various types of KOS. The presentation will include a live demonstration of the tool, the different sources of mapping suggestions as well as the current and possible future use cases of the tool and mappings in different scenarios.

Uma Balakrishnan is the coli-conc Project lead, in charge of the subject Indexing and KOS-related projects at the Head Office of the GBV Common Library Network (VZG) in Göttingen.

Jakob Voß works in research & development at the Head Office of the GBV Common Library Network (VZG), including lots of data modelling, analysis and specification.

Stefan Peters works as a software developer for project coli-conc at the Head Office of the GBV Common Library Network (VZG), and he is the developer of the web-based mapping tool Cocoda.
