First Domain Analysis Clinic - Institute for Knowledge Organization and Structure

The first IKOS Domain Analysis Clinic–Meta-Analysis of Knowledge Organization–was held at our Wisconsin campus March 15-16, 2019. Participants worked with a selected corpus of research data to hunt for gaps, fill them, and generate complex taxonomies and meta-analytical reports.
