Resource discovery across a diversity of services on the emerging Semantic Web is facilitated by the use of shared metadata vocabularies such as the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. The Dublin Core workshop series has provided a forum for international, cross-disciplinary metadata development since 1995. DC-2001, ninth in this series, will include an international conference for the broader metadata community with three principal missions: -- to provide a forum to discuss further development of the Dublin Core and related metadata standards -- to provide a forum to present and exchange new ideas about metadata and applications, not limited to Dublin Core, and -- to provide tutorials on the creation, management, and use of metadata applications. DC-2001 is the first event in the DC Workshop series to be hosted in Asia and is also the first event to include conference and tutorial tracks in addition to the workshop. The Workshop track (Monday-Wednesday, 22-24 October), will feature technical meetings of ongoing working groups of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. The agenda for the workshop track is under development in DCMI Working Groups. All active members of working groups, and others who would like to become active, are invited to participate. The Conference track (Wednesday-Friday, 24-26 October), will feature paper presentations, tutorials and special sessions dedicated in specific topics, e.g. Education and Government Information. The advance program is attached below. DC-2001 is planning to extend the conference program for a special session dedicated in the Semantic Web activity of the World Wide Web consortium in the afternoon on Friday October 26. ============ Conference Advance Program ============= -------------------------- October 24 -------------------------------- 1:00pm Opening Reports from Workshop and DCMI Stuart Weibel, Makx Dekkers (DCMI) 2:00pm break 2:20pm Track 1: Special Session 1: Metadata in Education organizer: TBA (Advanced Learning Infrastructure Consortium (ALIC), Japan) Track 2: Paper Session1: Queries - Chutiporn Anutariya et al.: RDF Declarative Description (RDD): A Language for Metadata - Danyang Wen et al.: Multilingual Access to Dublin Core Metadata of ULIS Library - Curtis Dyreson et al.: MetaXPath 3:50pm break (coffee) 4:10pm Track 1: Special Session 2: Government Information organizer: Makx Dekkers (DCMI) - Maewyn Cumming: Metadata in the UK - Leif Andresen: The use of Metadata in Denmark - TBA Track 2: Paper Session 2: Metadata for Learners - Stuart Sutton and Jon Mason: The Dublin Core and Metadata for Educational Resources - Eva Heinrich and Jisong Chen: A Framework for the Multi-modal Description of Learning Objects - Jane Greenberg, et al.: Author-generated Dublin Core Metadata for Web Resources: A Baseline Study in an Organization 6:00pm Posters & Reception Posters - Do-Nyun Kim and Young-Won Song, Interoperable Summary Description Model Using Dublin Core - Simon C.
