Preliminary Agenda
DAY 1: Wednesday, October 4 |

| 8:00 | Registration | ||
| 9:00 | Plenary I: | ||
| I.A. Welcome to DC-8 | 20 MIN | ||
| I.B. Dublin Core Basics | Stuart Weibel | 40 MIN | |
| A review of the milestones and accomplishments of the previous year and a look at the strategic plan for the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, including progress in standardization, evolution of the mission and progress, and liaisons with other metadata activities. | |||
| I.C. DC Qualifiers and a Grammar for DC Metadata | Tom Baker | 30 MIN | |
|
The background, process, and principles that led to the approval of the Dublin Core Qualifiers, and how these developments have influenced both semantic and syntactic specifications for DC metadata. see http://www.gmd.de/People/Thomas.Baker/DC-Grammar.html for Tom Baker's discussion paper on Dublin Core as a metadata grammar. |
|||
| 10:30 | Morning Break | 30 MIN | |
| 11:00 | Plenary II: Modular management of complexity | ||
| II.A Application Profiles | Rachel Heery | 30 MIN | |
|
An explanation of recent developments in mixing and managing multiple metadata schemas, and how these techniques can be used to support modular deployment of metadata packages, enabling applications to adopt specific components of DC metadata, add local extensions, and combine them with other metadata schemas. The talk will address syntax issues, description of structured entities within application profiles, and suggest means to accomodate domain-specific metadata. see http://homes.ukoln.ac.uk/~lisrmh/app-prof.htm for a discussion paper on application profiles |
|||
| II.B Structured Metadata for Richer Description | Carl Lagoze and Dan Brickley | 30 MIN | |
| The issue of how best to accomodate metadata with substructure (metadata values which themselves have metadata attributes) has been the subject of longstanding controversy in the DC community. The description of agents, and how they relate to information resources is a prime example of this problem, but there are others as well. This session is intended to expose some of the problems and opportunities facing the DC community in this important area. These include accomodating the diversity of functional requirements, and balancing the tension between local pragmatics and broad interoperability. | |||

| V.A: DC-Education: Domain Specific Metadata | 30 MIN | ||
| The DC-Education Working group is the first example of a DC working group intended to develop domain specific metadata. The activities of this group and its implications for other DC activites will be discussed. | |||
| V.B: DCMI Registry | 30 MIN | ||
|
Metadata Registries are an emerging technology necessary for managing the complexity of multiple namespace metadata implementations and multiple language representations of metadata. This session will illustrate progress in this area in the Dublin Core community. http://rdf.dev.oclc.org/myrdf/services/EOpenRegistry |
