Dublin Core Metadata Initiative
-
http://dublincore.org/
Metadata based on standards such as Dublin Core is a key
component of information environments from scientific
repositories to corporate intranets and from business and
publishing to education and e-government.
DC-2004 -- the fourth in a series of conferences previously held
in Tokyo, Florence, and Seattle -- will examine a broad range of
metadata applications, especially with a view towards improving
interoperability across boundaries of language, culture, and
communities of practice. Tutorials will provide an introduction
to metadata for non-experts.
In conjunction with DC-2004, the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative
will hold technical working-group meetings and Shanghai Library
will host the 2004 Shanghai International Library Forum. (http://www.libnet.sh.cn/silf2004/)
The Conference track of DC-2004 invites submissions of papers in
the following areas:
-- Conceptual models for metadata
