*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION*
*INTEGRATING STANDARDS IN PRACTICE*:
10th Open Forum on Metadata Registries
New York City, NY USA
9 - 11 July 2007
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Open Forum is the tenth annual forum in a series of international
conferences about topics related to metadata, registries,
interoperability, and semantics. It will focus on a series of core
standards as well as on the selection, integration and use of multiple
standards in actual systems. The central goal of the Open Forum is to
share and advance knowledge and experience about standards, the
technologies that build upon them, and implementation experiences.
/The following standards will be discussed/:
Data Semantics: ISO/IEC 11179 (Metadata Registries)
Terminology: ISO 704 (Principles of Terminology)
ISO 1087-1 (Vocabulary for terminology work)
ISO/TC 37/SC 4 (Language Resources Management)
Interoperability: ISO/IEC 19763 (Framework for Metamodel Interoperability)
ISO/IEC 20944 (Interoperability and bindings)
We will also discuss other standards from ISO such as Data Categories
(12620), Geographic Metadata (19115), and Topic Maps (13250), and
standards from other standards development organizations such as RDF,
OWL, and SKOS from W3C; CWM, SBVR, and ODM from OMG; and ebXML from OASIS.
*Who Should Attend*
The conference will gather together standards developers, software
developers, academics, and practitioners from the public and private
sectors to demonstrate accomplishments and to discuss current and future
efforts. Attendees will have interests in metadata management and the
use of international standards relating to data and terminology, with
some having specialties in areas such as data search/retrieval, web
search, and corporate data management.
