Proposed Agenda:
Metadata is used to integrate enterprise applications, using enterprise-specific as well as other metadata standards. Given the current metadata landscape, what is the future of Dublin Core in the corporate environment? What is the role of metadata standards in this environment?
This session will show what has been done to date with Dublin Core in the corporate environment as well as promote discussion about its future. We will have a series of 3 presentations, followed by a panel discussion. Audience participation is encouraged.
Automatic Metadata Generation in the Corporate Environment: Practices and Possibilities - Jane Greenberg
Metadata is fundamental to corporations relying on networked technology for communication and daily activities. Having information specialists or other corporate employees create metadata by traditional-manual means is prohibitively expensive, warranting exploration of automatic techniques. This talk presents a subset of data from the Automatic Metadata Generation Applications (AMeGA) project that specifically covers the corporate sector.
Jane Greenberg is an Associate Professor in the School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (SILS/UNC-CH) and Director of the SILS Metadata Research Center.
Metadata Best and Worst Practices- Joseph Busch and Ron Daniel, Jr.
This talk addresses how to take advantage of what is already known to solve big information management problems in your own organizations. On the one hand we want to remember what is already known about how to create a useful core metadata record to describe a content object so it can be found again later when needed. On the other hand there are some bad habits and obsolete ideas that we have seen. To set a framework for looking at changes in corporate metadata practices over the next few years, we will present a "metadata maturity model" based on our experiences with, and surveys of, numerous organizations that have applied information management projects.
Joseph Busch and Ron Daniel, Jr. are both principals at Taxonomy Strategies, an information management consultancy specializing in applying taxonomies, metadata, automatic classification, and other information retrieval technologies to the needs of business. Mr. Busch is a frequent speaker on metadata, taxonomy, indexing, classification research, information retrieval, and content management. Dr. Daniel is an expert on XML and metadata industry standards, and one of the co-editors of the original Dublin Core.
Dublin Core in the BBC Enterprise Architecture - Astrid Horgen
The BBC plans to introduce an Enterprise Architecture implementation approach to support application portfolio and enable support for Dublin Core based enquiry services at the same time. The presentation will summarize what has been achieved so far and will outline issues that are being raised as part of the services-based implementation now proposed.
Astrid Horgen is a computer engineer with over 6 years experience of data modeling and UML, 2 of which have been as part of Media Data Consulting Team, Siemens Business Services , working with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to help analyze their business and data requirements in regards to digital production and archiving. Astrid has also taken part in exercises to map the BBC's semantic model (SMEF) to external standards, such as Dublin Core. Astrid is currently responsible for the development of the next version of SMEF.

Title: Enhancing the Understanding of Meaning: Practical Applications of Networked Knowledge Organization Systems (NKOS)
Chairs: Douglas Tudhope, Traugott Koch and Gail Hodge
Place: Seminar Room 4.1.E03 (Torres Quevedo building)
Date & Time: 13/09/05, from 15:30 to 19:00 (coffee break at 17:00)
Framework and discussion issues:
Metadata has significantly enhanced access to digital resources, categorizing Web pages and providing text searching for non-text objects. The semantics (the meaning) encapsulated in this metadata has been determined largely at the level of individual projects or digital library collections. However, new demands for interoperability are coming from enterprise applications, communities of practice, and the vision of the Semantic Web. What roles can Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS), such as thesauri, classification schemes, and ontologies play in improving the understanding of meaning? What best practices, tools, and services are being deployed in practical applications? What are the outstanding issues and what research agenda should KOS and metadata practitioners undertake jointly? What are the connections with related DC activities, such as semantic web applications, linguistics developments and registry work? These sessions, organized by members of the NKOS Working Group, will gather metadata and KOS practitioners to demonstrate accomplishments and to discuss current and future efforts. Time will be allocated for question and answer sessions and general discussion.

Date & Time: 14/09/05, from 9:00 to 10:30.
Additional details: Simultaneous translation will be provided. This session will be broadcast by UC3M-TV.
Contents:
The Dublin Core defines a number of metadata elements, but what about the values for those elements? Should they be unrestricted text values or come from pre-defined vocabularies? The answer, of course, is "it depends". During this tutorial we will discuss how to determine the appropriate approach for an organization's situation. We will also cover how pre-defined vocabularies should be sourced, structured, and maintained.

Description and Proposed Agenda:
The DC Accessibility Working Group has worked collaboratively with a number of other communities to develop metadata specifications that can be used by all to describe the accessibility characteristics of resources. The aim has been to provide information about resources so they can be matched to the stated needs and preferences of users, also described according to metadata specifications. The activities of the Working Group will be reported and discussed.

Description and Proposed Agenda:
The two adaptability special sessions are for several purposes including the detailed consideration of the specifications for metadata being developed by the Accessibility Working Group, the work being undertaken by ISO JTC 1 to determine the needs of people with disabilities and what standards cover those needs and the gaps, and to manage this information using metadata, and other activities. In the process of their work, the DC Accessibility Working Group has found that other communities are also working on specifications for resource adaptability. The opportunity exists to bring the various communities together to work on a single new element for Dublin Core, called 'adaptability' and to develop an application profile using that element for accessibility. Other users of the same term might want different application profiles, eg for mobility of information.
Title: SKOS-Core (Simple Knowledge Organization System)
Instructor: Alistair Miles
Place: Aula de grados (5.1.A01)
Date & Time: 15/09/05, from 9:00 to 10:30.
Additional details: Simultaneous translation will be provided. This session will be broadcast by UC3M-TV.
Contents:
This tutorial introduces SKOS Core, a simple, flexible and extensible representation framework for 'concept schemes' (controlled vocabularies, structured vocabularies, thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading systems, taxonomies etc.).
SKOS Core is an application of the Resource Description Framework (RDF). It allows you to identify and describe 'concepts' and 'concept schemes'. Using SKOS Core you can generate machine-undersantable representations of concept schemes and pass them between computer applications/databases and/or publish them on the semantic web.
The following topics will be covered:
The 'SKOS Core Guide' and 'SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification' are W3C Working Drafts, and are published and maintained by the W3C Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group, supported by the Semantic Web Interest Group.

Proposed Agenda:
The adaptability of vocabularies within a Web environment for diverse uses ranging from traditional ones such as indexing to more innovative ones such as semantic applications raises questions as to what the vocabularies should represent (subject descriptors? domain concepts?) and the formats in which they should be represented (SKOS? OWL?). When multiple languages are involved, the issues surrounding the content and the form of representation are further compounded. Different languages lexicalize different concepts (e.g., Lao khaobeua 'crushed glutinous rice soaked in a little water' has no English lexical equivalent). But instead of incorporating these differences, multilingual vocabularies often tend to privilege one language (e.g., English) at the expense of the others. Any terms that do not fit the conceptual template of the privileged language are discarded even though they might be of relevance to the domain. These problems highlight the need to consider, at minimum, a concept-term distinction when dealing with the representation matters raised above.
This session provides a forum for the discussion of all issues concerning representation in standard vocabularies, with particular emphasis on multilingual terminologies. Some issues of relevance are:
