12th IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration (IEEE IRI-2011)
From the announcement:
Given the emerging global Information-centric IT landscape that has tremendous social and economic implications, effectively processing and integrating humongous volumes of information from diverse sources to enable effective decision making and knowledge generation have become one of the most significant challenges of current times. Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating this knowledge into systems and applications. IRI plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and extrapolation of information; and applies both information and knowledge for enhancing decision-making in various application domains.
This conference explores three major tracks: information reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. Information explores theory and practice of optimizing representation; information integration focuses on innovative strategies and algorithms for applying integration approaches in novel domains; and reusable systems focus on developing and deploying models and corresponding processes that enable Information Reuse and Integration to play a pivotal role in enhancing decision-making processes in various application domains.
All three tracks depend on subject identity, whether explicitly recognized or not. Would be nice to have topic map representatives at the conference.

Just picking at random from prior proceedings, I noticed:
Inconsistency: the good, the bad, and the ugly by Du Zhang from the 9th annual meeting.
Definitely a topic map sort of conference.
