shaping how we know, monitor and change social and governmental systems
affecting everything from the environment, human rights and justice to
education and peace. DC-2012 will bring together in Kuching the community of

RDF, DCAM, OAIS)

-- Metadata generation
(methods, tools, and practices)
-- Metadata interoperability across
domains, languages,
time, structures, and scales.
--
Cross-domain metadata uses (e.g., recordkeeping, preservation,
curation, institutional repositories, publishing)
--
Domain metadata (e.g., for corporations, cultural memory
institutions, education, government, and scientific fields)
--
Bibliographic standards (e.g., RDA, FRBR, subject headings)
as Semantic Web vocabularies
-- Accessibility metadata
-- Metadata for
scientific data, e-Science and grid applications
-- Social tagging and user
participation in building metadata
-- Usage data (paradata/attention
metadata)
-- Knowledge Organization Systems (e.g., ontologies, taxonomies,
authority files, folksonomies, and thesauri) and Simple
Knowledge
Organization Systems (SKOS)
-- Ontology design
and development
-- Integration of metadata and ontologies
-- Search
engines and metadata
