    [10]Proceedings of the 2003 Dublin Core Conference   Seattle, WA:
     Information School, University of Washington, October 2003.
     (http://www.siderean.com/dc2003/search.jsp). - The Dublin Core
     Conference has emerged as a rich source of technical papers
     squarely focused on practical, down-to-earth library issues.
     Surprisingly, although DC often shows up in many of these papers,
     it doesn't show up in all by any means, and the breadth of the
     papers belies the apparent narrowness of the conference title. Were
     I to be asked to come up with a name for the conference based
     solely on the papers, the word "metadata" must surely be a
     component, as that appears to be the binding thread of this
     conference. From all appearances, all of the papers given at the
     conference are here in Adobe Acrobat format, and presented through
     an interesting application called "Seamark" from [11]Siderean
     Software, which also serves as the host for the papers (I can't
     help wondering if anyone is backing these up somewhere, but maybe
     it is my proximity to the Silicon Valley that makes me loathe to
     trust preservation to a dot.com). Thus, a trip to this site can be
     a two-fold benefit -- the papers themselves, and the system that
     makes the papers searchable and browseable in new and interesting
     ways. In other words, this is a "don't miss" site. - [12]RT
