Special Libraries Association - Annual Conference 2022
2022-07-14 - 2022-08-02
The SLA Annual Conference is the premier event for special librarians and information professionals who want to explore the latest challenges and trends in information, knowledge, and library management, refine their skills, connect with colleagues, and meet with leading product and service providers.
The PoolParty Team is represented by Heather Hedden with multiple pre-event and event sessions:
“From Taxonomy to Ontology” workshop
Description: While taxonomies support findability and information retrieval, ontologies support additional information retrieval methods, such as enabling complex queries, the exploration of different relationships, and quick access to associated data, and not just content. The Semantic Web standards, upon which modern information ontologies are built, have brought ontologies more closely aligned to taxonomies and other knowledge organization systems, than the merely computer science use of ontologies of the past. Integrating ontologies with taxonomies has many practical applications, which increasingly more companies and organizations are implementing. This educational session teaches the fundamental principles of ontologies for information science, including their definitions, types, standards, benefits, and uses, including knowledge graphs. It then instructs by ways of examples, how to extend a taxonomy to become an ontology, and then addresses issues in modeling and designing ontology classes, relations, and attributes, including best options and practices. Tools and technologies will also be addressed.Date: Thursday, July 14, 2:00 – 4:30 pm EDTFormat: Live online (Zoom)Organizer: SLA (Special Libraries Association) Continuing Education WorkshopsRegistration: $100 for SLA members, $150 for nonmembers
“Research Sources and Methodologies for Taxonomy Development”
Description: This session explores the information sources and research methodologies available to those who are starting out in taxonomy development. Information sources discussed include publicly available taxonomies and ontologies, and authoritative vs nonauthoritative sources. Research methodologies include card sorting, tree testing, actionable recommendations, content analysis, and the use of metrics in development and maintenance.Presented jointly with Marisa Hughes, Taxonomist at the American Psychological Association.Dates: starting July 30Format: Pre-recorded on-demandand
“Current Challenges and Advanced Taxonomy Topics” (Session C2)
Description: This panel will cover advanced taxonomy topics, including common and current challenges taxonomists are facing in their jobs along with various business and use case discussions. The panel will also have career discussions around what separates a senior position from a junior position and how to take the next step in your taxonomy career. Participants will obtain a grasp of common and current challenges faced by taxonomists in their roles, understand how to apply taxonomies in various advanced use cases, know more about career paths for advanced taxonomists.Date: Sunday, July 31, 4:30 – 5:30 pm EDTFormat: In-person (and hybrid)and
“Communities of Practice: Where Everybody Knows Your Name”(Session G4)
Description: Communities of Practice (CoPs) can be invaluable for connecting people with common goals and interests and facilitate the sharing of knowledge, resources, and more. Sharing best practices and knowledge can result in better ideas, innovation, and improved culture. Join this session to learn more about what a community of practice is, considerations for designing and growing your CoP, and strategies for success in maintaining a CoP.Date: Tuesday, August 2, 9:00 – 10:00 am EDTFormat: In-person (and hybrid)Organizer: SLA (Special Libraries Association) Annual ConferenceLocation: Charlotte Convention Center, Charlotte, NC (and online)

Knowledge-based Recommendation Systems as a Cornerstone of the Digital WorkplaceThere is a great need for intelligent assistants in digital workplaces, and this more than ever, considering the increasing degree of decentralization in the post-Corona era.||||Recommendation systems are well known through their use in e-commerce platforms, but there they often achieve only too low a degree of precision and relevance, since they only follow the principle of “more of the same” based on “collaborative filtering”.
Date:Wednesday, September 14, 2022 – 10:30 to 12:00 (part of Recommender Systems Session)
Speaker:Andreas Blumauer, Founder & CEO, Semantic Web Company Inc.

Applying Semantic AI platforms for Augmented IntelligenceIn recent years, augmented intelligence systems have advanced to provide humans with insights for knowledge discovery and decision making. Using a cooperative approach, these systems use powerful artificial intelligence (AI) to augment human cognitive activities. To do so, the AI capabilities have to complement human actions and therefore be explainable and controllable, while still providing implicit insights based on statistical models. Semantic Artificial Intelligence (Semantic AI), as the combination of machine learning and knowledge models, provides such a methodology.

Multilingual Taxonomies and Knowledge Graphs as a Basis for Semantic AI ApplicationsThe domain of taxonomies and ontologies is to structure and enrich data. This makes the data searchable, findable, usable, and, moreover, the basis for AI applications. Terminology as the “counterpart” is responsible for ensuring that both data and metadata in the company are uniform and thus reusable and linkable. We show how taxonomy and terminology together make corporate data fit for the future, and how you can build taxonomies and knowledge graphs alongside classic terminologies. We give concrete examples of how these can be implemented in practice.
Date:Thursday, September 15, 2022 – 10:15 to 11:15 (part of LTI)
Speaker:Florian Bauer, Chief Solutions Officer, Semantic Web CompanyKlaus Fleischmann, Kaleidoscope

Semi-automated Generation of Multilingual Domain-specific TaxonomiesThe use of and need for domain-specific taxonomies are rapidly augmenting, as part of the growing interest in multilingual knowledge management. However, creating a fine taxonomy for any domain or industry use case can require many months of intensive expert work. To face this challenge, we converge human created and curated data with automated processes and a Knowledge Graph tool. Namely, we apply cross-lingual lexicographic content from KD-Lexicala with Semantic Web Company’s PoolParty Semantic Suite to generate multilingual domain-specific taxonomies.
Date:Thursday, September 15, 2022 – 10:15 to 11:15 (part of LTI)

The North American Collaboration Summit
2022-10-12 - 2022-10-14
We are sponsors of the North American Collaboration Summit 2022, the place to learn how to harness the power of your Microsoft 365 investments including SharePoint!
Our colleague Heather Hedden, Data and Knowledge Engineer at the Semantic Web Company, will host the following session:
“ENHANCING TAXONOMY AND TAGGING IN SHAREPOINT”
Are you wondering how you can improve the quality of search results from tagging in SharePoint? The Term Store is more than just a place to store terms (tags or metadata). Full taxonomies with browsable hierarchies, search-support synonyms, definitions, multilingual terms can be supported and utilized in multiple ways. Leveraging a taxonomy’s benefits, however, requires creating a taxonomy according to best practices and standards and applying the terms with consistent tagging policies, which can be further enhanced with semi-automated tagging.
This session will provide tips for creating better taxonomies, a look at the Term Store’s capabilities and limitations, recommendations for enterprise taxonomy governance, and a solution for auto-tagging integration with the SharePoint to ensure efficient, comprehensive, and consistent tagging, which results in improved content findability and user satisfaction.
Be part of it on October 12-14, 2022!

World Information Architecture Day - New Hampshire 2023
2023-03-04
What is the contribution of taxonomies to information architecture? Join Heather Hedden, Data and Knowledge Engineer at Semantic Web Company, for this 1-day event at Southern New Hampshire University, Manchester, NH.
Heather will hold a workshop for “Taxonomy Creation.” Look at the description of the workshop:
Taxonomies help connect users to content, and they improve findability over keyword search alone. As such, taxonomies should be created so that they are customized to the content and to the users. How to go about this will be addressed in this interactive workshop. Content analysis and term extraction are methods to make a taxonomy match its content, and user interviews and brainstorming sessions are methods to make a taxonomy suit its users. Following an explanation of different taxonomy types and features, exercises will include analyzing a document for candidate concepts, looking at the results of a term extraction tool and of a search log report. Small breakout groups will then brainstorm a taxonomy structure and top terms to serve the identified users.

World Information Architecture Café
2023-08-03 19:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | online
Taxonomies help connect users to content and improve findability over keyword searches alone. As such, taxonomies should be created so that they are customized to the content and to the users. In this presentation, Heather Hedden addresses how to go about this. Content analysis and term extraction are methods to make a taxonomy match its content, and user interviews and brainstorming sessions are methods to make a taxonomy suit its users.

Henry Stewart DAM New York
2023-09-14 - 2023-09-15 | New York Hilton Midtown Hotel, 1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY, 10019, United States
Semantic Web Company is participating for the first time in a Henry Stewart DAM event, the leading conference and virtual event producer in the field of Digital Asset Management. DAM New York is the largest global conference dedicated to Digital Asset Management and the vital role DAM plays in digital transformation. DAM has evolved from a siloed creative tool to a major enterprise strategic application. Attendees will benefit from real-world case studies, interactive panels, workshops and roundtables, plus an additional day of pre-conference tutorials.
At this year’s annual DAM New York, listen to SWC’s Product Communications Representative and Knowledge Manager Heather Hedden speak on the panel “Taxonomy is What Powers DAM.” DAM and other enterprise systems built on metadata rely on taxonomies to identify, find and group assets so you can put them to work.
The first two panelists will speak on the role of an enterprise taxonomy to support the goals of the enterprise and how to improve a taxonomy and identify and address gaps. Heather will speak on taxonomy management best practices, that a taxonomy should not be confined to a single single DAM system, and that you need to consider how a DAM taxonomy should relate to other taxonomies across the enterprise. Success involves taxonomy alignment, linking, and governance that promotes consistency and facilitates the search for assets and information across different systems.
