Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS) Workshop Linda Hill The goal of the NKOS activity is to develop a group of researchers and developers who are working toward creating interactive Knowledge Organization Systems accessible over the Web. This includes thesaurus and ontology developers, digital library and information infrastructure developers, information scientists, and library professionals. We spend a portion of each meeting informing one another of current relevant projects. A description of NKOS and its participants can be found at http://www.alexandria.ucsb.edu/-lhill/nk os/ The third workshop in a series was held at the ACM Digital Library conferences in Berkeley on August 14, 1999. There were 29 attendees. Six presentations were given: ¢ Update of thesaurus registry progress by Gail Hodge ¢ Distributed thesaurus developments at CERES by Quinn Hart ¢ Introduction to RDF by Ron Daniel ¢ Development of multi-thesauri management system by Marcia Zeng ¢ Terminology in ISO/IED 11179 metadata registries by Bruce Bargmeyer ¢ Thesauri and metadata schemas at Microsoft by Karen Eliasen Abstracts and PowerPoint slides from these presentations are available through the NKOS web pages. The CERES http-based distributed thesaurus standard was hailed as a great step forward and as a starting point to do more. The
