  • KGC Book Club: The Accidental Taxonomist (3rd Edition) with Heather Hedden
    February 14, 2023 - March 28, 2023
    11:30 am - 12:30 pm

A new Book Club starting in February!

Heather Hedden will present her just published 3rd edition of The Accidental Taxonomist. More than Taxonomies, the book now includes Ontologies!

We encourage you to order the book as soon as possible since, depending on your location, it might take some time to arrive.
You can order the printed book from the publisher’s website and enjoy a 20% discount using the code KGCTAT3 before February 1. Ebook versions are also available, but the discount does not apply.

The Book Club features 6 sessions, one every Tuesday at 11:30 am ET (17:30 CET), from February 14 to March 28.
Please note that if you are not located in North America, starting March 14, sessions will be one hour earlier, as North America switches to “daylight” (summer) time on March 12. So, it will be at 16:30 CET on March 14 and 21

We are skipping Tuesday, March 7, because Semantic Web Company is hosting its PoolParty Summit virtual conference on March 7-8th. It may interest you as well!

Book Club Schedule:

  • Session 1, February 14, from 11:30 to 12:30 am EST (17:30 to 18:30 CET):
    • Chapters 1 and 2 (focusing on the first one) will discuss what taxonomies are.

The Book Club will focus on the book content and will be different from the many workshops and tutorials Heather Hedden is already giving worldwide. It is an excellent opportunity to learn about Taxonomies and Ontologies with a group of passionate people.
And by the way, Heather Hedden has a fantastic blog! You should definitely have a look: https://accidental-taxonomist.blogspot.com
