SUMMARY:Research Observatory: Knowledge Organization Systems in the spotlig
 ht (online)
DESCRIPTION:This event is organized in collaboration with the ISKO Low Cou
 ntries chapter.\n\nObserving trajectories in Science: Building the DANS K
 OS Observatory by Gerard Coen\nKnowledge Organization Systems (KOSs) inc
 lude a wide variety of schemas ranging from ontologies\, to classification
 s\, thesauri\, taxonomies\, semantic networks\, etc. These schemas can be 
 updated and revised (or conversely become obsolete or lost) and are theref
 ore prone to change over time. A wish expressed frequently by the research
  front in the KO community was for an “observatory” of KOSs. In 2017\,
  via the KNAW Visiting Professor programme\, DANS began to focus more on
  understanding how KOSs change over time\, how they can be archived\, how 
 version identification and control can be addressed\, and also\, how KOSs 
 can be aligned to the ‘FAIR’ Data Principles (Findable\, Accessible\, 
 Interoperable\, Reusable). This research ambition coupled with community i
 nterest lead to the creation of the KOSo (Knowledge Organization Systems O
 bservatory). Concretely\, the observatory involves the identification of K
 OSs within the social sciences and humanities or the life sciences. KOSs h
 ave been described and ordered in the observatory through a process of emp
 irical association in order to resist the potential pitfall of already org
 anizing these resources through the lens of other KOSs (e.g. already descr
 ibing the KOS in terms of existing controlled vocabularies). The DANS KOSo
  employs both metadata terms and formal classifications\, using the Inform
 ation Coding Classification in a synthetic format together with the KO Lit
 erature Classification\, thus rendering for each KOS a domain-centric term
  faceted with a KOS-form term. Additionally\, we classify domains using th
 e NARCIS Classification\, which is a framework to represent the research f
 oci of the Dutch national research infrastructure.\nLooking both ways\, BA
 RTOC then and now as it prepares for the future of Knowledge Organization
  by Uma Balakrishnan &amp\; Jakob Voss\nBasic Register of Thesauri\, O
 ntologies &amp\; Classifications (BARTOC). It is the largest online direct
 ory of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS)\, that provides free access to
  the metadata of more than 3\,000 terminologies in 20 different languages.
  BARTOC unifies different vocabulary services on a single platform and enh
 ances the visibility of the existing KOS in various domains. The initiativ
 e was founded and developed by Andreas Ledl at the Basel University Librar
 y\, Switzerland in 2013. In 2020 the Register was moved to and is being ho
 sted by the head office of the common library network\, VZG in Göttingen 
 under a new technical infrastructure developed within the framework of the
  project coli-conc. This presentation will give an overview of the BARTOC 
 project\, its history and will provide an update on its services\, especia
 lly with regard to the project coli-conc and elucidate the latest technolo
 gy implemented by the VZG.\nMore information.
