DESCRIPTION:Join us at the 91ɬÂţ School of Information Studies (SIS) for a
  talk on epistemology and knowledge organization with guest speaker Richar
 d Smiraglia.\n\n'The domain of knowledge organization is a discourse commu
 nity in which rigorous\, self-conscious inquiry takes place concerning tha
 t which is known\, and its various orderings or sequences\, both those tha
 t are natural or heuristic\, and those that are imposed. The products of t
 he domain\, then\, are ordered segments of that which is known\, and the r
 ules either for discovering their natural orders\, or the rules for imposi
 ng a useful sequence. All applied knowledge organization is a form of disc
 ourse\, in which the structures and rules are objects of communication\, a
 nd which takes place in a cultural milieu or among actors in various cultu
 ral milieus. Thus a very important component of the science of knowledge o
 rganization must be epistemology. A dimension is an expression of the exte
 nt of a space. Epistemology is one dimension of the domain of knowledge or
 ganization. This domain demonstrates coherence across time and across geop
 olitical boundaries\, particularly as it concerns its scientific and human
 istic theoretical foundations. Differences that emerge in intension reflec
 t shifting cultural approaches across regions and across time\, and the do
 main’s move from emphasis on universal classifications to interoperability
 .'\n\nSpeaker bio\n\nRichard P. Smiraglia is an expert on knowledge organi
 zation and currently Visiting Professor and member of the Information Orga
 nization Research Group at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee at the Sc
 hool of Information Studies (SOIS). Dr. Smiraglia has previously taught at

 nization. He earned his PhD from the University of Chicago\, Masters of Di
 vinity from the General Theological Seminary of Episcopal Church\, and a M
