Dear colleagues,
I like to raise your attention to the below invitation to participate in the
Open Forum 2003. This is a great opportunity to get informed and envolved in
the current discussion around metadata registries and related issues. The
European Environment Agency has been part of the organising committe,
specificly envolved in the setup of the environmental track with it's
subtracks on environmental informatics and biology information
infrastructure. We will also use the opportunity to present and discuss our
latest developments there. We see this as well as a follow-up opportunity
for scientific and technological discussions during EnviroInfo2002 to be
held in Vienna ( http://enviroinfo.isep.at <http://enviroinfo.isep.at> )
later in September.
kind regards
Stefan Jensen
Please apologize cross-postings

You are invited to participate in the sixth international Open Forum on
Metadata Registries. It will be held January 20-24, 2003 in Santa Fe, New
Mexico, USA.
Please see the call for participation at:
www.metadata-standards.org/OpenForum2003
<http://www.metadata-standards.org/OpenForum2003>
This is a preliminary announcement. The web site contains draft material
being developed by the organizing committee. It will be updated as speakers
are confirmed. Please check for updates.
Participants will explore the capabilities, uses, content, development, and
operation of registries and related technologies. Emphasis is on managing
the semantics (meaning) of data that is shared within and between
organizations or disseminated via the World Wide Web.
This Open Forum will concentrate on the following technologies: ISO/IEC
11179 Metadata Registries, Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration
(UDDI), XML Registries/Repositories, Database Catalogs (e.g., relational
DBMS/SQL), CASE Tool Repositories, Software Component Registries,
Terminology and Ontological Registries, and Dublin Core Registries.
Tutorials will be given on these technologies and on the relevant standards.
A theme will be cooperation and interoperation of these technologies. The
practical use of the technologies will be described and demonstrated in
"tracks". The tracks are: Standards, Technologies, and Tutorials;
Bioinformatics & Genomics; Defense; Electronic Business; Environment;
Healthcare; Knowledge Management & Learning Technology; Statistics;
Terminology and Ontologies; Transportation, Aviation, and Aerospace.
The tracks will gather standards developers, software developers, and
practitioners in these fields to demonstrate accomplishments and to discuss
experiences. Please mark your calendars and register to attend.
