    The 8th Dublin Core workshop affords the opportunity for practitioners, theoreticians, systems developers and metadata administrators to meet to discuss implementation issues, share perspectives and experiences, and contribute to the evolution of the standard through working group meetings and plenary discussions.

    The specifics of the agenda will be determined by a steering committee as the workshop approaches, however major themes that will be developed at DC 8 include:

    • Issues in multi-lingual metadata
    • Policies and functional requirements for metadata registries
    • Structured representation (eg., agent descriptions for Creator, Contributor, and Publisher elements)
    • Creation and management of name authority structures
    • Extending Dublin Core metadata for Domain-specific metadata entities
