Metadata workshop


Stella,

Thanks for your response. It would be helpful if you could post the
attached announcement to any UK-based lists that you think might be
interested in this topic. The meeting is coming up just after the new
year. Best regards,

Joseph

PS. Keep a look out for information about the Singapore Government
Metadata Standards (SGMS) project which should start to have some
visibility in the next year. We have been working with HP on this
project to develop both a metadata and taxonomy standard very  much like
those in other Commonwealth countries.
