BARTOC.org
The Basel Register of Thesauri, Ontologies & Classifications is a database of Knowledge Organization Systems, developed at the University Library of Basel, Switzerland. Its main goal is to list as many Knowledge Organization Systems as possible at one place in order to achieve greater visibility, highlight their features, make them searchable and comparable, and foster knowledge sharing. BARTOC has been approved by the International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO).
The Knowledge Manager’s Handbook
Patrick Lambe, Straits Knowledge and Nick Milton have published the 2nd edition of the The Knowledge Manager’s Handbook. The book has been fully updated for ISO 30401:2018. The Knowledge Manager’s Handbook takes you step by step through the processes needed to define and embed an effective knowledge management framework within your organization.
The way an organization manages and disseminates its knowledge is key to informed business decision-making, effectiveness and competitive edge. Because knowledge management is not a one-size-fits-all method, you need a framework tailored to your organization and its priorities. The Synaptica team highly recommend this book and we plan to interview both Patrick and Nick about guide in the future.

Taxonomy Practitioners Survey Results
The final results of the 2018 Taxonomers Practitioners Survey are available to download. The survey was shared via the Information Today conference websites for both Taxonomy Boot Camp London and Taxonomy Boot Camp Washington D.C. during late 2018.
The aim of the survey was to find out how taxonomy practitioners build and maintain taxonomies, how they use these taxonomies to categorize content and enhance search. The survey also asked the 53 respondents to describe which emerging technologies are impacting their enterprises. The survey is curated by Synaptica.
