Jennifer (and others of course),
Here's another website you might find useful. It contains listings/descriptions
of many metadata websites, projects, standards, and other initiatives -
including especially those relating to DC. In fact, click the "Full Text
Search" button and type "Dublin Core" - you'll instantly see all the listings
which mention it.

To: People interested in Metadata projects, standards, and other
initiatives
From: Association of American Publishers (AAP)
Date: June 21, 1999
The Metadata Subcommittee of the AAP Enabling Technologies Committee is
announcing the launch of a new web site: MICI - "Metadata Information
Clearinghouse (Interactive)."
This site was initiated by the Metadata Subcommittee to serve as a clearinghouse
of information about Metadata projects, standards, and initiatives worldwide.
It allows the reader to look up projects from whatever perspective the reader
may have: e.g. by "Type of Application" (Sales, Rights Management,
Archive/Reuse, Content Management), by "Type of Publisher" (Books, Journals,
etc.), by "Subject" (Chemistry, Accounting, Earth Science), etc. - and of
course, by "Project Name."
MICI is also designed to be interactive. You can post questions or comments
about the projects listed, and conduct threaded discussions with other readers.
If you know of any project which is not yet in the database but should be,
please create a record for it yourself. (We will make best efforts to edit
these for quality assurance purposes.) If you are involved in any of the
projects already listed and feel that the existing description should be changed
in any way, please post a comment in response to that project description. If
you have any general suggestions about the website itself, please post a
response to the placeholder "project" entitled "Feedback to this Website."
MICI can be accessed via http://www.publishers.org/mici.htm or via
http://www.wileynpt.com/mici. I hope you will take a moment to look through
this database, and to pass this announcement on to others you think might be
interested.
Sincerely,
David Sidman

Tends toward the theoretical, but also includes some articles with

interested in some of the broader trends and issues related to
