Audience and participants: maintainers of vocabularies or taxonomies and
people with an interest in the Semantic Web
DCMI maintains sets of metadata terms ("vocabularies") for uses in a broad range
of implementation contexts. This requires that DCMI publish and update its term
sets in multiple forms -- as Web documents and as schemas in RDF and XML Schema
-- and it requires the maintenance of related specifications and best practice
guides. Many of these materials are needed in multiple languages. All of these
materials must be kept in synch at the risk of breaking dependent applications.
In this session, Thomas Baker will briefly present the processes and work-flow
underlying the publication in parallel of various types of schemas and
documentation. Harry Wagner and Mitsuharu Nagamori wrote a vocabulary management
tool(VMT) for Dublin Core and Harry will present recent work on this. Eric
Miller -- formerly the technical lead for DCMI, now head of the W3C Semantic Web
Activity -- will comment on DCMI practice in light of recent advances in tools
for managing Semantic Web vocabularies. Charles McCathieNevile, Semantic Web
Advanced Development in Europe, will assist with examples of tools being
developed or already in use in such contexts. Maintainers of vocabularies or
taxonomies for other contexts, such as corporate
intranets, are strongly encouraged to present their experiences in the context
of a open discussion of the current state of the art.
Participants wishing to make a brief presentation in the context of the
discussion are invited to contact Liddy Nevile
