Here are the slides for the three keynotes at our IKO Conference this week. We will be producing video versions of these as well, but they’ll take a little longer.

Patrick Lambe – The New Frontier in Knowledge Organisation: integrating methods, technologies and standards to deliver extraordinary results
Charlie Hull – The Future of Search: fishing the streams of Big Data
Matt Moore – Competence and Knowledge Organisation

Charlie Hull has a great review of the IKO Conference: "I think this was probably one of the best organised and most interesting events I’ve attended in the last few years." Charlie presented a tutorial, a case study and keynoted on Day 2 on the future of search.

Here are the slides for the mini-tutorials in knowledge organisation from our “Innovations in Knowledge Organisation” Conference last week. The video versions will follow!
