Description:

In this talk Joseph Busch discusses application profiles as a framework for structuring information applications. The key argument is that application profiles are not usually treated as knowledge organization systems in themselves, but they contain two kinds of vocabularies that are central to knowledge organization: schema vocabularies and value vocabularies. He also connects this argument to current questions about generative AI reliability and transparency.
