>Second IEEE Metadata Conference
>
>CALL FOR PAPERS
>
>* Location: NOAA Auditorium, Silver Spring, Maryland
>* Dates: 16 - 17 September 1997
>* For more information: http://www.llnl.gov/liv_comp/metadata/md97.html
>
>Sponsored by:
>
>IEEE Mass Storage Systems and Technology Technical Committee
>National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
>Hughes Information Technology Systems
>IEEE Digital Libraries Task Force
>
>The IEEE Metadata Conference goal is to encourage discussion of metadata
>issues. Metadata is loosely defined as "data about data", or "additional
>information that is necessary for data to be useful". Papers that
>contribute to practical understanding are strongly encouraged. Survey
>papers, short tutorial papers, and product or project experiences are
>welcome. Previously published papers will not be considered. Panel
>proposals should describe the topic, intended audience, and list the likely
>participants. Panels should discuss topics that can involve the audience
>rather than being mini-paper sessions. Proposals for poster displays and/or
>demonstrations should focus on presenting novel and interesting technical
>aspects of metadata research or development. Soon-to-be products that
>emphasize substantial technical support for metadata are also welcome.
>
>We are soliciting abstracts of 500 to 1000 words for potential papers and
>panel proposals, along with abstracts of poster and/or demo presentations
>of up to 500 words of text.
>
>Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
>
>* Metadata Management:
> o modeling and representation of metadata, including
> + impact of modeling choices (oo, relational, ..) on
>extensibility of metadata
> + impact of metadata on storage, retrievability and use of
data
> + metadata for logical/semantic representation of the WWW
> o metadata mining/extraction
> o metadata for mass storage and warehousing
> o integrating multi-level metadata
> o metadata repository architecture
> o systems for managing metadata
> + recording/providing/accessing/utilizing
> + WWW-based metadata management
>* Application-specific issues of metadata:
> o earth sciences (weather/climate, ecosystems)
> o resource management (mining, agriculture)
> o other data-intensive application areas (census, film/video
>archives, etc.)
>* Emerging applications in Global Information Infrastructure, including
> o Digital library metadata issues:
> + search through multimedia documents
> + metadata for multimedia and heterogeneous digital data
> + metadata for mass storage
> o metadata for managing WWW-based information resources
> o information/electronic commerce
>* Standards:
> o government "documents" (email, voicemail, ..),
> o tape format and file metadata,
> o self-describing data formats (such as netcdf)
> o survey of existing standards
> o bridging multiple overlapping metadata 'standards'
> o standards for information interchange and stewardship
>* Working Systems demonstrating any aspects related to metadata
>
