Metadata Workshop,
Luxembourg - 1-2 December 1997
DGXIII/E-4 is organising a concertation meeting and workshop for projects
and other interested people involved in developing and applying metadata
for the classification of content relevant to libraries, museums and
archives. The libraries sector is taking this initiative because of the
original
and innovative work carried out in the area instigated by the libraries
community worldwide (such as the Dublin Core).
A first workshop of 1½ days will be held in Luxembourg on 1 and 2 December,
and will contain a tutorial, project presentations and breakout sessions
discussing various aspects. The specific objectives are to establish a
platform for co-ordination between projects concerned with metadata in
a broad sense, to raise awareness of developments in the standards arena
and to stimulate feedback from the projects to the standards. We plan to
hold a second workshop six months later to contain an update from the
standards and reports from projects leading into discussion on solution
scenarios.
