On Saturday November 2, join us for the Classification Research Workshop, entitled:
“Big Data, Linked Data: Classification Research at the Junction.”
Workshop Details: http://www.asis.org/asist2013/seminars_workshops_SIG_CR.html
Registration Information: http://www.asis.org/asist2013/register.html
While big data and linked data are often considered separately, classification research stands at
the juncture between these two approaches, and can therefore provide a context in which
researchers in each domain can benefit from the insights of the other. This workshop will put both young and established researchers in classification theory and practice to work on exploring this juncture, on topics ranging from Twitter to gene ontology, and from WorldCat to the Semantic Web.
This workshop forms part of the annual meeting of the ASIS&T Annual Meeting at Le Centre Sheraton, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
