DC2003 Call for Papers:

The DCMI 2003 Program Committee invites papers and posters in the following categories of metadata and related topics:

• Conceptual models and fundamental principles
• Globalization and localization
• Community or domain metadata (statistical, government, geo-spatial, etc.)
• Enterprise metadata
• Metadata registries and registry services
• Interoperability among metadata systems and standards
• Search engines and metadata
• Implementation of systems and tools for metadata applications

The Committee emphasizes that the scope of the DC2003 Conference Track is broad in the sense that it is NOT limited to research and development focusing solely on the Dublin Core metadata element set. Rather, the Conference Track seeks to bring together researchers and implementers concerned with metadata issues in a broad array of contexts as those issues affect both cross-domain and discourse/practice community resource discovery, retrieval, use and management.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the DC2003 Program Committee and accepted papers and posters will be published on line and in print as the DC2003 Conference Proceedings. All accepted papers are expected to be presented by one or more of the authors at the conference.
