Journal of Information Systems Knowledge and Ontologies (JISKO)

Special Volume 2010 Topic: Semantics, Knowledge and Ontologies: past, present and future role in the knowledge society. // because of enhanced visibi The term 'Knowledge Society' emerged towards the end of the 1990's and is used to describe a society that uses its knowledge as primary asset, resource and production mechanism. In this type of society, the sharing, use and creation of knowledge are the primary activities of any endeavour, and not labour or any other investment. In general, a knowledge society is seen as more than an information society because it includes human, cultural and social aspects and this knowledge enables economic growth and empowers and develops all sectors of society.
Within this special issue of JISKO, we want to investigate a knowledge society and information systems in the light of recent events and advances such as
* technological advances including as the Semantic Web and Web 2.0 / Web 3.0 * interconnectivity, networks and virtual societies that are not constrained by geographic proximity * information systems and global change (enterprise, economic, cultural, climate)
The scope of the journal is available at http://www.ibimapublishing.com/journals/JISKO/jisko.html and topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* The Knowledge Society * Knowledge in the Information Society * Knowledge and Ontologies in Information Systems * Ontologies and Ontology * Information Systems Knowledge Management and Engineering * Enterprise Knowledge Management and Engineering * All aspects in Ontology Construction, Engineering, Modelling, Learning, Population and Evaluation * All aspects Ontology Evolution and Maintenance * All aspects in Ontology Adoption, Evaluation and Management * Ontology Languages * Ontology Use in Information Systems * Ontology Coupling, Integration and Matching * Semantic Web Applications
