Call for Papers
*International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications:
Metadata Harmonization: Bridging Languages of Description*
21-23 September 2011, The Hague, Netherlands
"Metadata is an increasingly central tool in the current web environment,
enabling large-scale, distributed management of resources. Recent years has
seen a growth in interaction between previously relatively isolated metadata
communities, driven by the need for cross-domain collaboration and exchange.
However, metadata standards have not been able to meet the needs of
interoperability between independent standardization communities. For this
reason the notion of metadata harmonization, defined as interoperability of
combinations of metadata specifications, has arisen as a core issue for the
future of web-based metadata."[1] Resting at the heart of application
profiles, metadata harmonization presents a little understood, but critical
challenge in design of languages of description. DC-2011 will explore the
conceptual and practical issues of design when the language solution calls
for cross-fertilization from different metadata specifications.
