European Metadata Workshop and Concertation Meeting
Keywords SGML, HTML, Identification
The Third Metadata Workshop and Concertation Meeting, organised by the European Commission, took place in Luxembourg on 12 April 1999. Forty-eight participants attended from organisations all around Europe.
The workshop had four main objectives:
- •
To present recent developments around the Dublin Core metadata element set and look at future directions.
- •
To present RDF and XML and look at the practical consequences for metadata implementation.
- •
To look at issues related to unique identifiers for electronic resources.
- •
To discuss metadata issues related to long-term availability of resources.
The workshop was conducted in four sessions to reflect these objectives.
There were many decisions made and recommendations for the future were formulated. It was agreed that further research was a necessity.
