The Workshop on Library and Information Science (LIS 2014) solicits contributions on the role of classification and data analysis in this domain. Topics in these area include but are not limited to:
Classification and subject indexing in the context of catalogs and resource discovery systems- Methods, approaches and applications in subject indexing, classification and data analysis in different countries
Open Access to classification systems: How can we provide a sustainable classification infrastructure?
Linked (subject) data (E.g. Faceted classification and Linked Data architectures: a happy alignment?)
Classification, Subject indexing and the Semantic Web (E.g. Taxonomies and Semantic Web Ontologies: how closely are they related to each other?)
Automatic and manual methods in Classification and Subject indexing (E.g. Mappings, concordances, heuristics)
Classification of research data
Subject retrieval in multilingual and multicultural environments
Serendipity in library collections and digital libraries
The workshop language is English.
