Celebrating 15 Years of Dublin Core
Conference Theme
DC-2010 marks the 15th anniversary of Dublin Core and the 10th year of the Annual Conference. To celebrate and reflect on the past and future, conference participants will engage in investigations in both research and application entailing advances that make metadata work harder in ways beyond the originally identified need for better resource discovery. The DCMI Abstract Model, the refined concept of Application Profiles and the initial Description Set Profile specification, represent an inflection point in the trajectory of metadata design and deployment in the service of human information needs. But all is not perfect and we have much to learn from sharing experience. DC-2010, will take stock of progress, look to the future and celebrate the broad scope of research and applied work in making metadata work harder.
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, normalization, improvement and mapping
- Conceptual models and frameworks (e.g., RDF, DCAM, OAIS)
- Application profiles
- 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
- 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
- Metadata generation (methods, tools, and practices)
- Search engines and metadata
- Semantic Web metadata and applications
- Vocabulary registries and registry services
