This workshop will share information about the development of good practice in the adoption and deployment of Dublin Core to enterprise information applications including intranets, extranets, and Internet, as well as information services including traditional, web, and broadband publishing. The goal is to form communities of practice (called "Circles") under the auspices of DCMI, and to determine an appropriate business model for maintaining them.
Break-out Sessions; 16:30 - 19:00
The objective of The European Library project is to set up a co-operative framework which will lead to a system for access to the major national and deposit collections in European national libraries. The metadata describing the objects in these collections will be available for simultaneous searching and retrieval according to a common TEL metadata model. This data model will initially be based on the Dublin Core Libary ApplicationProfile and collection level descriptions and should facilitate a coherent use of metadata for required functionality. The concept of a metadata registry should allow for the controlled evolution of a TEL application profile.For the metadata work package of the TEL project, the DCMI conference affords the opportunity for a meeting with experts in the area of metadata development. The TEL project presents its ideas on how to match its datamodel to evolving functional requirements concerning access to a heterogeneous set of collections. Experts from outside the TEL project may criticise the TEL approach and suggest improvements, based on their vision and experience with similar projects. Such a meeting may be interesting for non-experts involved in the area of metadata development for simultaneous access to different sets of metadata as well.
This panel will discuss key issues in the adoption and deployment of Dublin Core in enterprise information applications including intranets, extranets, and Internet, as well as information services including traditional, web, and broadband publishing. The results of the communities of practice (called "Circles") workshop will also be discussed.
The focus of this Special Topics Session will be a mini-workshop directed towards developing a program of work that will advance understanding of the requirements and scope of metadata to support accessibility issues.
These issues are common to a variety of constituencies, and there is a strong case for pursuing solutions in collaboration with these constituencies, including IMS, IEEE-LOM and the W3C.
Topics for discussion include user profiles and resource/service profiles. Further information is available at: http://dublincore.org/groups/access/
This session will present the main work areas of the project and the partners directly involved, with discussion of the overall goals, methods of work, tools available and needed, and strategies for development and deployment.

This session will investigate the issues of interoperability between data based on Dublin Core, but extended using various different schemas. It will focus on the uses of RDF technology, and the issues that arise.

The DC-GOV Working Group noted strong interest in records management metadata, or more broadly, recordkeeping metadata in its working sessions at DC-2001 in Tokyo. Subsequently the DCMI Advisory Board asked Andrew Wilson and John Roberts to prepare a report on global recordkeeping metadata initiatives. The report describes various metadata initiatives around the world which have a particular emphasis on recordkeeping metadata. The report recommended that DCMI investigate the possibility of establishing a DC Interest Group on Recordkeeping metadata, and the DCMI Executive asked Andrew Wilson and John Roberts to have carriage of this activity in the first instance. The aim of this session will be to assess the level of interest and discuss the focus and deliverables such an interest group might have.
