Breakout One: Defining schemas in use

Is your project oriented to particular metadata standards or to a particular combination of standards? Where do you look for information and guidance? How do you plan to go about defining your metadata schemas? What is your timescale for finalising your metadata schema?

Breakout Two: Sharing and declaring schema

Is there a group with which you particularly need to align your schema? How can you work towards aligning schema? How do you plan to publish or disclose your local metadata schemas?

Breakout Three: Multilingual requirements

To what extent must your metadata schemas present themselves to users in multiple languages? How have you addressed this issue in practice, how might it be addressed?

Breakout Four: Finding information about schema

Where do you look to find out how projects in your field or discipline are defining their schemas? What kinds of introductory or course materials, handbooks, user guides, or Web databases covering the overall topic of metadata schema have you found useful? What other kinds of material are needed?
