Joint Workshop on Metadata Registries Announcement


This is to announce a workshop of invited participants on how to improve
access to and sharing of data by harmonizing metadata standards and
developing interoperable metadata registries accessible by the World Wide
Web. A central goal of the workshop will be to develop detailed
recommendations for registries of data element metadata and higher-level
metadata (e.g., for schemas, models, and metamodels), especially for
disciplinary, national and international standards, and Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI). The workshop will bring together researchers in formal
methods (from the knowledge representation and database communities), and
other researchers, practitioners, and vendors from the database, standards,
registry, repository, middleware, GIS, EDI, and digital library
communities.

This meeting will be open to members of relevant standards committees,
but since workshop space is limited (60 to 75 participants maximum),
anyone who intends to participate must submit their information form
and some kind of contribution by March 7, 1997.
