ISKO SINGapore - a brief history
ISKO Singapore was a chapter of the International Society for Knowledge Organization and was active between 2015 and 2024, holding regular monthly meetings in that period. During the COVID19 pandemic, its activities became virtual, and both membership and event participation became increasingly international. In 2022-3 the Singapore chapter acted as an incubator for the formation of a new ISKO Kenya chapter. The chapter also hosted several editions of the Innovations in Knowledge Organization (IKO) Conference, the last edition of which was held in Singapore in 2023. It also collaborated with the Malaysian KM Roundtable on a virtual conference during the COVID19 pandemic, and with other ISKO chapters on events.
Also in 2023, although participation in events was high, and although the finances of the chapter were sound, it had become increasingly difficult to find volunteers to take over Executive Committee roles. A pro tem Executive Committee was elected to explore options, and in September 2024 it recommended voluntary dissolution to the membership, with the balance of its assets to be transferred to ISKO. The membership agreed at an EGM called for the purpose, and the chapter was dissolved effective 4 September 2024.
