List members might be interested to note that the full report, tutorial
materials, and some other material from a Metadata Workshop organised by
DGXIII/E-4, with the involvement of UKOLN, is now available at
http://hosted.ukoln.ac.uk/ec/metadata-1997/report/
The following is pasted from the introduction:
-->
DGXIII/E-4 organised 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 took 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 was held in Luxembourg on 1 and 2 December,
and contained a tutorial, project presentations and breakout sessions
discussing various aspects. The specific objectives were 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.
