Part of «Knowledge Technology Week 2012»
Contents
Conference Theme
DC-2012 will explore the global, national and regional roles of metadata in addressing global challenges such as food security, the digital divide, and sustainable development. Metadata plays a significant role globally in information systems shaping how we know, monitor and change social and governmental systems affecting everything from the environment, human rights and justice to education and peace. DC-2012 will bring together in Kuching the community of metadata scholars and practitioners to engage in the exchange of knowledge and best practices in developing languages of description to meet these global challenges.
Beyond the conference theme, papers, reports, and poster submissions are welcome on a wide range of metadata topics, such as:
- Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices
- Metadata quality (methods, tools, and practices)
- Conceptual models and frameworks (e.g., RDF, DCAM, OAIS)
- Application profiles
- Metadata generation (methods, tools, and practices)
- Metadata interoperability across domains, languages, time, structures, and scales
- Cross-domain metadata uses (e.g., recordkeeping, preservation, curation, institutional repositories, publishing)
- Domain metadata (e.g., for corporations, cultural memory institutions, education, government, and scientific fields)
- Bibliographic standards (e.g., RDA, FRBR, subject headings) as Semantic Web vocabularies
- Accessibility metadata
- Metadata for scientific data, e-Science and grid applications
- Social tagging and user participation in building metadata
- Usage data (paradata/attention metadata)
- Knowledge Organization Systems (e.g., ontologies, taxonomies, authority files, folksonomies, and thesauri) and Simple Knowledge Organization Systems (SKOS)
- Ontology design and development
- Integration of metadata and ontologies
- Search engines and metadata
- Linked data and the Semantic Web (metadata and applications)
