Be sure to attend the CIMI Institute Workshop
Digital Access to Cultural Heritage Resources: Implementing the Dublin
Core in museums
September 22nd and 23rd
at ICHIM99 in Washington, D.C.
*********************************************************
This comprehensive, 2-day workshop, draws from the experiences of the
CIMI (http://www.cimi.org/) Dublin
Core Testbed and takes the mystery out of implementing Dublin Core in
museums.
Questions to be discussed include: What is metadata?, Why is it important
for our museum? How is it different from traditional cataloguing?
How do we know when to use Dublin Core? What can we expect during
implementation? Are there any tools we can use to automate the
process of record creation? And much more.
Participants will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of DC, the
challenges and opportunities for the use of DC in museums and concrete,
practical experience in creating real DC records.
Who should attend?
Museum staff
Information managers and consultants
Web managers
Administrators who are looking to better manage their Web information
resources
Systems staff
