Description: There are more than 800 ISO standards related to terminology. ISO 25964 Part 1, which focuses on thesauri for information retrieval, is being reviewed and revised by a working group. Since the last update of the standard in 2011, the scope has expanded to include terminology management and use, the semantic web, linked data, and AI (meaning NLP, machine learning, LLM, etc.) and interoperability between thesaurus management systems and consuming applications. Busch and Hlava explain the key areas of change that have been included in the draft revision including alignment with SKOS and other related standards, alternatives to preferred term, representative visual resources, persistent identifiers, “multilinguality,” granularity, and others. An interactive Q&A session follows to answer any questions on the standard draft and its potential impact on taxonomy practitioners. Presented by Margie Hlava, President of Access Innovations and Joseph Busch, Taxonomy Strategies’ principal analyst at Taxonomy Bootcamp (TBC) 2024 in Washington, D.C. on November 18, 2024.
