6th ASIS SIG/CR Classification Research Workshop: An interdisciplinary meeting

The CR Workshop is designed to be an exchange of ideas among active researchers with interests in the creation, development, management, representation, display, comparison, compatibility, theory, and application of classification schemes.

Workshop participation will be of two kinds: presenter and regular participant. Those selected as presenters have been invited to submit expanded versions of their position papers and will speak to those papers in brief presentations during the workshop. All position papers will be published in proceedings to be distributed prior to the workshop.
