About DC-2001

Providing machine-understandable data on the Web has become a priority not just for publishers and scientific communities, but for a wide range of commercial ventures and services. Resource discovery across a diversity of services on the emerging Semantic Web is facilitated by the use of shared metadata vocabularies such as the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set.

The Dublin Core workshop series has provided a forum for international, cross-disciplinary metadata development since 1995. DC-2001, ninth in this series, will include an international conference for the broader metadata community with three principal missions:

to provide a forum to discuss further development of the Dublin Core and related metadata standards
to provide a forum to present and exchange new ideas about metadata and applications, not limited to Dublin Core, and
to provide tutorials on the creation, management, and use of metadata applications.

DC-2001 is the first event in the DC Workshop series to be hosted in Asia and is also the first event to include conference and tutorial tracks in addition to the workshop.
