Research interest should inevitably shift from information to knowledge, namely how to build, organize, maintain and utilize knowledge are the central issues in a wide variety of fields. The 21st Century COE program, "Framework for Systematization and Application of Large-scale Knowledge Resources (COE-LKR)" conducted by Tokyo Institute of Technology is one of the attempts to challenge these important issues. Inspired by this project, LKR2008 aims at bringing together diverse contribution in cognitive science, computer science, education and linguistics to explore design, construction, extension, maintenance, validation, and application of knowledge.
