Plain Language + Machine Translation as a Form of Cultural Hospitality for Knowledge Representation

This book explores the latest advances in how knowledge organisation can both draw upon and inform diverse disciplines and technological developments. It explores how best to combine theory and practice, with its contents considering practical solutions as well as the theory behind the design, development and implementation of knowledge organising systems, ranging from controlled vocabularies, classification systems and metadata schemas to ontologies and taxonomies.
