Dear Thom Pick, As we know you are aware of, the Swedish gateway to environmental information, Swedish EnviroNet, http://smn.environ.se/miljonat/english/index.htm use the DC metadata application since 1997. Our members; organizations, institutions, authorities, universities and NGOs, today more than 130 organizations, inserts metadata into their webdocuments according to the standards specified by the EnviroNet. The Swedish Clearing-House of Biological Diversity, http://smn.environ.se/cbd/eng/ was launched in may 2001. It is built up and maintained within the Swedish EnviroNet. The information provided consists of short texts, keys, combined with links to relevant information on the Web and preselected searches within the Swedish EnviroNet to information, statistics, databases. The synergy with Swedish EnviroNet provides automacally regularly updating as the information at the members sites are harvested, normally weekly, for all webdocuments including DC metadata, classified for the EnviroNet. So every week there is a completely new database. Thanks to the metadata it is possible to build up preselected searches with exactly the information in need. Best regards, Asa Prantare Swedish EnviroNet http://smn.environ.se/ -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Thom Pick [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Skickat: den 20 februari 2002 14:12 Till: [log in to unmask] Ämne: Survey on usage of Dublin Core in the environmental domain dear colleagues, thank you all for joining the dc-environment interest group. the dc-env. charter states that one primary goal will be to conduct a 'Survey on usage of Dublin Core in the environmental domain'. i would like to initiate this survey by asking you to report any dublin core activities in the environmental domain that you are aware of. we will compile the results into a small report and use it as the basis for taks 2: 'Develop guidance material for the use of Dublin Core in the environmental domain'. i'm looking forward to your responses. best regards thom
