>>
>>Following on from the 4th Dublin Core Metadata Workshop in Canberra on 3 - 5
>>March, the National Library of Australia is organising a Seminar on
>>International Metadata Developments on the 6 March.
>>
>>The use of standard metadata sets ensures consistency in the description of
>>Internet information. This in turn facilitates more efficient searching and
>>retrieval of Internet resources (documents and images). This Seminar will
>>provide a good overview of the latest developments and standards that are
>>being designed to improve the accessibility of electronic information.
>>
>>The Seminar takes advantage of the presence in Australia of a number of key
>>international figures in metadata development.  These individuals are coming
>>to Canberra to participate in the by-invitation-only 4th Dublin Core Metadata
>>Workshop.
>>
>>The Seminar will draw on the wide range of international speakers attending
>>the 4th Dublin Core Workshop and aims to provide a first hand opportunity to
>>hear about international developments in metadata standards and to discuss
>>possible ways of encouraging the deployment of standard metadata elements by
>>Australian creators of electronic publications.  It is also intended that
>>there will be some discussion of ways of supporting interoperability amongst
>>the various metadata systems under development.
>>
>>Anyone who is a creator of information resources on the Internet is
>>encouraged to attend this important seminar. Representatives from libraries,
>>museums, archives, government agencies and other electronic publishers are
>>particularly welcome.
>>
>>PROGRAM
