DC-2003

I'm attending the 2003 Dublin Core Conference during the next three days. For non-metadata geeks, the phrase "Dublin Core" might be a tad opaque. The Dublin Core is a metadata standard that has gained a fair amount of traction for its simplicity and expandability.

You can check out the Online Proceedings. They've organized the papers using a faceted classification scheme. I actually think its a tad hard to use, but its there. I have a fat printed version. Should make for interesting night-time reading.

I'm hoping to post interesting bits on the conference on this weblog.

Oh, and by the way, the Bell Harbor conference center is really, really nice.

Update: Ariadne has published a conference report by Pete Johnston.
