DC-2012 will explore the global, national and regional roles of metadata in
addressing global challenges such as food security, the digital divide, and
sustainable development. Metadata plays a significant role globally in
information systems shaping how we know, monitor and change social and
governmental systems affecting everything from the environment, human
rights and justice to education and peace. DC-2012 will bring together in
Kuching the community of metadata scholars and practitioners to engage in
the exchange of knowledge and best practices in developing languages of
description to meet these global challenges. Beyond the conference theme,
papers, reports, and poster submissions are welcome on a wide range of
metadata topics, such as:
-- Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices
-- Metadata quality (methods, tools, and practices)
-- Conceptual models and frameworks (e.g., RDF, DCAM, OAIS)
-- Application profiles
-- Metadata generation (methods, tools, and practices)
-- 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
-- Usage data (paradata/attention 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
-- Search engines and metadata
-- Linked data and the Semantic Web (metadata and applications)
-- Vocabulary registries and registry services
----------------------------------
