European Metadata Workshop: Promoting Standardized Dublin Core Schemes

The European Dublin Core Workshop aims to develop and implement standardized metadata schemes, especially focusing on Dublin Core standards. It provides a forum for addressing metadata issues, supporting European projects, and endorsing Dublin Core standards. Future activities include ongoing workshops, EU-funded projects, and promoting internet use and e-government services. The workshop focuses on metadata standards, application profiles, and semantic interoperability. The Metadata Observatory assesses relationships between Dublin Core and other initiatives to facilitate the evolution of metadata schemes. European collaboration in existing and future projects is encouraged through the Metadata Web Ring.

  1. Metadata-Dublin Core CEN/ISSS Workshop - MMI-DC • Ian Campbell-Grant, • ICL • Chair, CEN/ISSS Workshop MMI-DC • 23rd October 2001 ian.campbell-grant@icl.com

  2. European Dublin Core Workshop (CEN/ISSS Workshop MMI-DC) • To promote within Europe the development, implementation and application of standardised metadata schemes, specifically including current and future Dublin Core standards. • In support of existing and future European projects,an open forum in which Dublin Core metadata standards related issues get addressed. • Established in Europe as lead EU player in this area

  3. Endorsement of Dublin Core CWA 13874 • CEN/ISSS agreed CWA for Dublin Core Version 1.1 – CWA 13874 • Dublin Core Metadata Element Set: Reference Description • Formal endorsement for European applications(especially for government agencies)

  4. Metadata — Dublin CoreExisting Workshop Deliverables • Dublin Core – CWA recommendation. • Guidance information for European industry – CWA recommendation. • Web based “Observatory” on Metadata - assessing Dublin Core and metadata initiatives/activities – CWA recommendation

  5. MMI-DC WorkshopFuture activities • Ongoing workshop confirmed • “Future Status” agreed September, 2001 • Specific activities planned • EU funding in process (variety of agencies) • Some established; some being established

  6. eEurope • eEurope include these key actions: • Stimulate the use of the Internet • Government on-line:electronic access to public services. • European Youth in the Digital Age • Participation for All in the Knowledge Based Economy

  7. Open European Forum - Metadata • Sharing of information • Addressing metadata standards issues • EU and National European projects • Presentations captured onto MMI-DC Web

  8. European work to progress Metadata +Dublin Core • Focus for European participation • Relation with DCMI • Establishing a European role in DCMI • For example, detailed guidance • EU project being established

  9. Domain specific metadataApplication profiles • For use of Dublin Core in specific domains • Wide involvement of stakeholders • Guidelines on Application Profiles - CWA • E-Government Application Profile - CWA • MMI-DC to involve across Europe • EU support through CEN/ISSS

  10. Semantic interoperability(Mapping/crosswalks CWA) • Agreed need for development • Wide involvement of stakeholders • To facilitate Domain interoperability • Initial focus geographic area • CWA defining mapping ISO 19115 and DC • EU project being established

  11. MMI-DC ObservatoryCEN/ISSS Workshop MMI-DC CWA 13989 • Web “Observatory” linking European activities • A way to find information about European projects and activities on metadata with: • high quality of information • constant quality over time • high coverage of activities in Europe • up-to-date overview of activities

  12. This Web based Observatory is part of CEN MMI-DC workshop. The Observatory will maintain and promote a knowledge base for metadata for multimedia information to continually assess relationships between Dublin Core and other initiatives - in order to assist evolution of standardised metadata schemes. The Observatory identifies the key activities currently being undertaken in Europe and across the world : the scope of these activities and related work in European projects and programmes. This is an activity with a European focus and an important aspect of the Observatory will be the coverage of European projects.

  13. Metadata Web ring • Promoting collaborationexisting + future DC European projects • Web page hosted by CEN/ISSS • Initial projects:Diffuse, Metadata server, Schemas, Observatory • Intended to grow • Existing European project

  14. Revision/update to guidance • CEN Workshop Agreement - CWA 13988Guidance Information for the use of Dublin Core in Europe • Guidance for European Organisations/Industry for those considering adoption of Dublin Core(strategic decision makers; providers; implementers) • More detailed guidance to be progressed within the DCMI activities • Revision of CWA13988 currently in preparation • Existing EU support

  15. eContent programme • One part of eEurope programme • Itself a 150 Million ECU programme (~$135M) • To tackle barriers which prevent fully exploiting potential of the global Internet • Adopted in December, 2000
