The next International Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) Seminar, “Classification & Visualization: Interfaces to Knowledge,” will take place on October 24-25, 2013 in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek at The Hague. This is the fourth in a series of International UDC Seminars devoted to advances in documentary classification research and their application in a networked environment.

This conference will focus on cutting edge advances and techniques in the visualization of knowledge across various fields of application, and their potential impact on developments in the more mainstream bibliographic and documentary classifications.

These biennial conferences are devoted to advances in documentary/bibliographic classification research and their application in a networked environment. The keynote at this year’s conference is W. Boyd Rayward, Professor Emeritus, from the University of Illinois. Professor Rayward’s address is titled, “From the index card to the World City: knowledge organization and visualization in the work and ideas of Paul Otlet.”
