The tenth International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications
will take place October 20-22 in Pittsburgh, PA, and is co-located with the
annual ASIS&T conference. The theme of the 2010 conference is "Making
Metadata Work Harder: Celebrating 15 years of Dublin Core".
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with the conference and to
meet and share expertise and research about metadata. Beyond the conference
theme, full papers (8-10 pages), project reports (4-5 pages), and posters
and demonstrations (1-2 pages) are welcome on a wide range of metadata
topics, such as:
* Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices
* Metadata quality, normalization, improvement and mapping
* Conceptual models and frameworks (e.g., RDF, DCAM, OAIS)
* Application profiles
* Metadata interoperability across domains, languages, time, structures,
and scales.
* Cross-domain metadata uses (e.g., recordkeeping, preservation,
curation, institutional repositories, publishing)
* Domain metadata (e.g., for corporations, cultural memory institutions,
education, government, and scientific fields)
* Bibliographic standards (e.g., RDA, FRBR, subject headings) as
Semantic Web vocabularies
* Accessibility metadata
* Metadata for scientific data, e-Science and grid applications
* Social tagging and user participation in building metadata
* Knowledge Organization Systems (e.g., ontologies, taxonomies,
authority files, folksonomies, and thesauri) and Simple Knowledge
Organization Systems (SKOS)
* Ontology design and development
* Integration of metadata and ontologies
* Metadata generation (methods, tools, and practices)
* Search engines and metadata
* Semantic Web metadata and applications
* Vocabulary registries and registry services
