CORES is an EC FP5 project to encourage the sharing of metadata semantics. By building consensus on the ground-rules for declaring standard definitions of terms, as well as local usage and adaptations, the project hopes to enable the diversity of existing standards to "play together" in an integrated, machine-understandable Semantic Web environment. This list is intended as a general discussion forum for interested parties.
