Building a More Meaningful Web: From Traditional Knowledge Organization Systems to New Semantic Tools Dagobert Soergel College ofInformation Studies University ofMaryland The 6th Networked Knowledge Organization Systems/Sources (NKOS) Workshop, organized by Gail Hodge (gailhodge(&aol.com), Dagobert Soergel (dsoergel@umd.edu), and Marcia Zeng (mzeng@kent.edu) was held on May 31, 2003 in Houston, TX as part of JCDL 2003 . It focused on " transforming traditional knowledge organization systems (KOSs), such as classification schemes and thesauri, to new forms ofknowledge representation, such as ontologies and topic maps, that can be used for AI and semantic Web applications and for sophisticated retrieval and learning, thus " Leveraging the considerable intellectual capital available in existing KOS for lowering the cost of developing knowledge-intensive applications The following papers were presented.
