The Bliss Bibliographic Classification is a fully faceted classification scheme that provides detailed classification for use in libraries and information services of all kinds, with a broad and detailed structure and order. Last week, I was invited to give a talk at the annual Bliss Classification Association Lecture, held in London at UCL.

Last week I spent two interesting days in London, at the Epistemic Networks and GRID Web 2.0 for Arts and Humanities workshop. I went there representing PhiloSURFical and Cohere, but unfortunately due to technical reasons the fliers I've prepared to let this community know about our work were not handed out on time. The printers at Imperial College didnt want to work for me :-). Too bad.. I managed anyway to spread the word a bit, and the reactions have been very very positive.

Just went to a talk by Denny Vrandecic, one of the people who developed the Semantic MediaWiki. A little description:

I went to an interesting talk today about the future of library e-services, especially in the light of Web 2.0 technologies. A lot of ideas, maybe not groundbreaking yet but with a lot of potential, I think. And quite a few people out there trying to make it real.
