DC-8 Dublin Core Metadata Workshop
Preliminary Agenda
Day 1 Wednesday, October 4
8:00 Registration
9:00 Plenary I:
I.A. Welcome to DC-8 20 MIN
I.B. Dublin Core Basics Stuart Weibel 40 MIN
A review of the milestones and accomplishments of the previous
year and a look at the strategic plan for the Dublin Core
Metadata Initiative, including progress in standardization,
evolution of the mission and progress, and liaisons with other
metadata activities.
I.C. DC Qualifiers and a Grammar for DC Metadata Tom Baker 30 MIN
The background, process, and principles that led to the
approval of the Dublin Core Qualifiers, and how these
developments have influenced both semantic and syntactic
specifications for DC metadata.
see http://www.gmd.de/People/Thomas.Baker/DC-Grammar.html
for Tom Baker's discussion paper on Dublin Core as a
metadata grammar.
10:30 ------------- Morning Break ------------------------- 30 MIN
11:00 Plenary II: Modular management of complexity
II.A Application Profiles Rachel Heery 30 MIN
An explanation of recent developments in mixing and managing
multiple metadata schemas, and how these techniques can be
used to support modular deployment of metadata packages,
enabling applications to adopt specific components of DC
metadata, add local extensions, and combine them with other
metadata schemas. The talk will address syntax issues,
description of structured entities within application profiles,
and suggest means to accomodate domain-specific metadata.
see <http://homes.ukoln.ac.uk/~lisrmh/app-prof.htm>
for a discussion paper on application profiles
II.B DC Agents 30 MIN
The issue of how best to associate attributes with agents has
been the subject of longstanding controversy in the DC community.
This session is intended to expose some of the problems and
opportunities facing the DC community in this important area,
including authority linking, the diversity of functional
requirements related to agents, and the tension between local
pragmatics and broad interoperability.
