“Subject-centric computing” is a new way of thinking about how we organize information. Building on traditions and insights accumulated over the centuries, it represents a paradigm shift in how we use computers to manage information and knowledge.
The basic idea is simple: the organizing principle of information should not be where it lives or how it was created, but what it is about. Organize information by subject and it will be easier to integrate, reuse and share – and (not least) easier for users to find. The increased awareness of the importance of metadata and ontologies, the popularity of tagging, and a growing interest in semantic interoperability are part and parcel of the new trend towards subject-centric computing.
This conference brings together these disparate threads by focusing on an open international standard that is subject-centric to its very core: ISO 13250 Topic Maps.
Join us in Oslo for three days of tutorials, case studies, technical discussions and exhibitions to learn how Topic Maps and the vision of subject-centric computing is being applied around the world to solve problems of information and knowledge management.
