Yesterday, I gave a talk to the #ISKOUK Conference, presenting the status quo and challenges of creating Knowledge Organization Systems of Research Fields.
This slide summarises what I learned during these years in trying to use AI to generate them.
It's cool, it's artistic, but bloody hard!

Terminology is used in specific context. Participatory governance - include the communities that are being described by those systems - to more fairly represent communities. Julaine Clunis at the #ISKOUK 2025 Conference

Fascinating to learn about 'Potemkin Understanding' - i.e. a facade (or illusion) of understanding exhibited by LLMs - Ronald Siebes at the #ISKOUK 2025 conference

At the conference, @angelosalatino.bsky.social reviewed existing KOSs for academic disciplines and discussed how AI can help build them.
He asked: How can we integrate existing KOSs of research fields?
It's an important question for both KO and scientometrics.

Maybe we cannot 'solve' the problem of different representations of communities. It is more of a process (e.g. by participatory governance). Otherwise we could be guilty of erasure of other experience. It is difficult and could be uncomfortable. Joseph Busch at the #ISKOUK 2025 Conference.

Prof. Marcia Zeng takes us on a tour of different semantic systems using AI technology to enhance indexing and search performance. This includes inferential reasoning. So for instance, a geographical name links to geographic coordinates, and regional information. #ISKOUK 2025 conference

@gnoli.eu chaired the first session of the #ISKOUK 2025 Conference. An emerging theme seems to be about the use of AI to enhance indexing of resources, but with human oversight. We do not seem to be yet at the stage where AI generated indexing or metadata is totally reliable.
