CALL FOR PAPERS
The DCMI 2002 Programme Committee invites papers
in the following categories:
* E-Government
* Search engines and metadata
* Educational metadata: improving communication
* Knowledge management
* Use of DC metadata for commerce and intranets
* Semantic web: roles of standard cataloguing,
indexing, metadata and ontologies
* Metadata interoperability: tools and protocols
* Cultural heritage metadata
The size and scope of the World Wide Web often make information
discovery difficult. Metadata is an important tool in addressing the
problem of resource discovery on the Web.
The convergence of resource description standards and development of
enabling infrastructure promises to improve the discovery and management
of information across and within disciplines. The Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative has been active in the development of Web resource discovery
standards since 1995 when a core set of elements was agreed upon in a
workshop held in by Dublin, Ohio, U.S.A.
DC 2002 will include the 10th workshop in the series, and will be the
second DCMI conference to include a conference track and tutorial track
in addition to the workshop event.
