Arun needs the full text of a presentation he made in 2004(?) at ASIS&T
by Subbiah Arunachalam 03 Jan '25

03 Jan '25

Friends, Please do me a favour. Here is the abstract of a paper I presented at Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology <https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/15508390> sometime in 2004 (?). Please see https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/meet.1450400162. At that time, I was volunteering with M S Swaminathan Research Institute, Chennai, essentially working in the area of ICT4D. The only other speaker at the ASIST event I knew was Dr Paul Uhlir, who was with the US National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC. *Subbiah Arunachalam:* *Ethical, Social, Political, Legal, and Economic Issues and Impacts of the Shrinking Public Domain for Developing Countries* We are moving into a knowledge economy in which information is becoming a major source of power. Having and knowing how to use information effectively make all the difference, be it in making a kill in the stock market, producing drugs and pharmaceuticals, weapons that can rake in huge profits, or even acquiring superpower status and dominating the world. One of the most distressing developments of the modern world is the privatization of research by companies small and big at the cost of public good research. Every conceivable development – be it a new drug or new ways of communicating – is now patented and kept away from free and open access. In many conferences held in the USA, members and fellows who are foreign citizens are not allowed to attend certain sessions. The most widespread discrimination is in the matter of access to published information by pricing it out of reach of the developing world. In crucial areas like food and nutrition (agriculture), health care, and computing, privatization of public knowledge is exacerbating the divide between the rich and the poor, which, if it continues for long and crosses a threshold, might lead to undesirable consequences. *** I want the full text of the paper. I do not remember where this event was held (probably 2004). I will be grateful for your help. With warm regards, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

Registration for Special Lecture on "From Taxonomies to Ontologies" by Heather Hedden
by Nabina Khamaru 02 Jan '25

02 Jan '25

Dear Members, We are pleased to announce a special lecture jointly organized by the Documentation Research and Training Centre (DRTC), Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore Centre, and the International Society for Knowledge Organization (India Chapter). The lecture titled "From Taxonomies to Ontologies" will be delivered by Heather Hedden, Hedden Information Management, Carlisle, MA, USA. *Topic: **"From Taxonomies to Ontologies"* *Speaker: Heather Hedden <https://www.linkedin.com/in/hedden/>* *Abstract: * Taxonomies and ontologies each have their own distinctive benefits. However, uses often overlap. Especially when the goals are improved enterprise information with excellent data findability, analysis, and linking. Fortunately, most currently used taxonomies and ontologies are built on the same basic data model standard - the RDF (Resource Description Framework). Consequently, whether or not taxonomies and ontologies are extended in accordance with other standards they can still easily be connected in the same implementation or wider project. While the technology is not a challenge, what is still needed is a more comprehensive understanding by stakeholders (including subject matter experts) on how, conceptually, to connect taxonomies and ontologies and to extend a taxonomy to have ontology features. *Event details:* *Date*: Tuesday, 14 January 2025 *Time*: 3:00 PM (IST) *Venue*: PJ Auditorium, Indian Statistical Institute *How to Register?* Registration for the lecture is now open. Kindly complete your registration by filling out the following Google Form: *Lecture Registration <https://forms.gle/9E1bfeQLnUWTuzg9A>* We encourage you to secure your spot for this event at the earliest. Please confirm your participation to avoid missing out on this opportunity to engage with global community experts. *Registration Closes by 12 January 2025.* We believe this lecture will be an enriching experience for scholars, practitioners, and professionals in the fields of knowledge organization, information science, enterprise data management, and related domains. We look forward to your response and participation in the event. Presides Dr. Biswanath Dutta Head and Associate Professor DRCT, ISI Bangalore Centre
