Abstract

The more we rely on machines to navigate the information oceans, the more important so-called structured data become, i.e. data that have been given a certain meaning. In this contribution we bring together two specialists in the field: Richard Smiraglia, currently executive director of a non-profit research institute The Institute for Knowledge Organization and Structure, and Enrico Daga, currently Senior Research Fellow at the Knowledge Media Institute of the Open University in the UK, to discuss with each other the history of Knowledge Organization in various fields, and important challenges in the present. The conversation was led by Andrea Scharnhorst, policy advisor at DANS, an institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
