ASIST2010年会将于10月份在匹兹堡大学召开（http://www.asis.org/asist2010 /index.html），这次会议的主题是：Navigating Streams in an Information Ecosystem。从会议的seminar和workshop以及要求的keynotes来看，受控词表和分类法仍然是今年的焦点，此外还涉及信息检索和人机交互。 5个seminar，其中前两个是基于SKOS的受控词表构建与相关软件培训，第三和第四是关于分类工具和分类表设计的，第五个是关于意义建构的，涉及人机交互领域： （1）SKOS-2-HIVE: Part 1: Introductory Session: SKOS-2-HIVE （2）SKOS-2-HIVE: Part 2: Implementing HIVE （3）Taxonomy Tools: Requirements and Capabilities （4）Getting Started with Business Taxonomy Design （5）Sense-Making Methodology Interviewing Tutorial: Approaches for Research, Practice, Pedagogy, and Design 此外，workshop中也涉及了分类法研究与实践的。 * What in the World are We Talking About? Info Needs, Seeking And Use: Key Concepts: Convergences And Divergences - The Differences That Definitions Make in Core Concepts (SIGs SI USE) Organizers: Brenda Dervin, Howard Rosenbaum and Christine Urquhart * Defining the Limits of Classification Research Practice (SIG CR) Speakers: Diane Neal, Megan Winget, Molly Tighe, Grant Campbell, Joe Tennis, Abby Blachly * Assessing Research Data Needs at Your Institutiom (SIG DL) Speakers: Barrie Hayes, Susan Wells Parham, Jake Carlson, Brian Westra * Current Research and Thinking in Image Analysis, Descriptions, and Systems (SIG VIS) Speakers: Abby Goodrum, Samantha Hastings, Corinne Jorgensen, Krystyna Matusiak, Elaine Menard, Diane Neal, Brian O'Connor, Abebe Rorissa, Jaime Snyder * Intercultural Information Ethics in the Global Information Ecosystem: Opportunities and Challenges (SIG III) Speakers: Dennis Ocholla, Soraj Hongladarom, Rafael Capurro, Mohammed Aman, Thomas Froehlich, Toni Carbo (moderator) *Educating Information Professionals Around the World (SIGs III ED) Speakers: Gwen Alexander, Alexander Arbuthnot, Gail Bonath, Pascal Calarco, Anne Caputo, Rumi Graham, Guoqiu Li, Ann Prentice, Yukiko Sakai, Nancy Roderer (moderator) 这些能否说明受控和规范语言仍是信息组织与检索领域当前发展的不二法门呢？

从开博到今，日子一天一天的过去，却迟迟难以下笔。一者，开学后，原来暑期准备的课程重新调整，原先开的课程教材有变，每周都需要重新备课，加之新生入学，科研、非科研事务日多，没有时间；另一方面，或者说更深层次的原因，是自己陷入了苦苦求索，思维反复，难以平息，原来的自我原定位受到了冲击。 从大学接受的教育到硕、博阶段的训练，原意味奠定了坚实的基础和广阔的视野，加之考虑到人口、资源、环境，人口的发展是第一位的，国外有关空间分析和统计的应用也逐渐从自然领域过渡到了认为社科，由此，择业时理想化果敢地从理科跨入人文社科。心想尽管国内相关领域发展虽然较弱，而根据全球化、网络化的趋势已经和正在对国内自然科学带来的冲击，人文社科领域自然也难免其遇，不妨先入做些事情。然而八月二十日起，参加今年于西安的首届人口学年会，才发现自己的估计失误，和与会人员交流，竟然有所谓著名学者基本不上国际网络！再者， International Union for the Scientific Study of Population 召开国际会议，登录网上，发现可以注册到 IUSSP ，申请会员，心里那个高兴啊，然而注册后登陆，发现需要支付 90 欧元方可使用相关资源。呜呼，如此运作一个国际学会，这也是我第一次听说！ 然而，开弓没有回头箭！国外能做的，自己也要坚定地走下去！思索中偶翻年会资料和照片，大雁塔前玄奘法师的雕塑坚定自己的信念，毕竟国外的资料也日渐丰富起来！ 于是，停滞多日后，今日提笔记之，今后必要时时勤勉，慎独明志！
