Folks,
In case you have not seen the call for participation, see below.
I believe OOR would be a topic of considerable interest to
this audience. If anyone is interested in speaking about OOR at the conference,
please let me know.

11th Annual Open Forum for Metadata Registries
Metadata DownUnder - Metadata, Semantics and Interoperability in Practice
Sydney, NSW Australia 19 - 22 May 2008
This Open Forum is the eleventh annual forum in a series of international

is a cross cutting metadata event - a metadata bazaar, with many metadata
aspects and perspectives represented. This forum will focus on the
interoperability of metadata and semantics in prototype and operational
systems. Sectors where information and data interchange and re-use are critical,
such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, statistics and the
environment will be included. Read more...
