The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, or "DCMI", is an open organization engaged in the development of interoperable metadata standards that support a broad range of purposes and business models. DCMI's activities include work on architecture and modeling, discussions and collaborative work in DCMI Communities and DCMI Task Groups, annual conferences and workshops, standards liaison, and educational efforts to promote widespread acceptance of metadata standards and practices.
You can learn more about metadata and DCMI by exploring the pages listed in the menu bar above: the Home page (this page), Metadata Basics, Specifications, Community and Events, and About Us.

Discussion will take place on the DC-Glossary and DC-Architecture mailing lists, respectively. Participation by interested members of the Dublin Core community is welcomed and encouraged; please contact Tom Baker for further information.

Online registration is open; early-bird discount is available until 10 September 2010.
2010-08-16, This year, we will be offering presentation opportunities at DC-2010 for DCMI Partners. If your organization is interested to become a DCMI Partner and present your product or service that is built on Dublin Core metadata, please contact DCMI at info@dublincore.org with "Partnership" in the subject line.
2010-06-17, A new DCMI Task Group has been established on the issue of Metadata Provenance. The group aims to define an application profile that allows for making assertions about description statements or description sets, creating a shared model of the data elements required to describe an aggregation of metadata statements in order to collectively import, access, use and publish facts about the quality, rights, timeliness, data source type, trust situation, etc. of the described statements. The Task Group is led by Kai Eckert of the University of Mannheim and Michael Panzer of OCLC who have become members of the DCMI Advisory Board.
