Workshops

In order to explore issues concerned with managing and using metadata schemas we will be holding four workshops over the next two years. Topics for workshops include the disclosure of metadata by means of a registration process, registering the diverse range of metadata schemas, options for the structure of registries, and best practice for namespace management.

The workshops are not confined to users of metadata for resource discovery, we encourage participation from implementors who are using metadata for digital preservation, rights management, e-commerce and so forth.
