IFLA World Library and Information Congress
82nd IFLA General Conference and Assembly
Dublin Core at 21 celebrates DC's amazing 21 year history and anticipates its future.
The Dublin Core originated in 1995 at a meeting at OCLC (in the very room where this IFLA Satellite event will also take place). This special event will bring a historical view of key people who were there when the Web was young, and Dublin Core was new, and evolving rapidly.
But the Web does not stand still. Presentations will also provide information on the latest metadata standards-related work underway by DCMI (The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative) and OCLC's current work with metadata models, standards, and technologies advancing the state of the art for libraries and archives.
Presenters will include metadata experts with long ties to Dublin Core including several who were at the original invitational meeting in 1995. A panel discussion will permit speakers to reflect on activities and trends past and present.
Attendees are invited to attend a complimentary reception and special unveiling following the presentation portion of the day.

Making Metadata Work
June 23, 2014 – June 23, 2014
Making Metadata Work
Joint Meeting of
« ISKO UK » (UK Chapter of the International Society for Knowledge Organization),
« IRSG » (Information Retrieval Special Interest Group of BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT), and
« DCMI » (Dublin Core Metadata Initiative)
The concept of Metadata is growing up, as we find applications far more sophisticated than just reading the label on the tin. In the early days of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) the most obvious aim was to enable us all to find stuff in the expanding Internet environment. Nowadays we see more opportunities in creating and exploiting linkages between diverse resources in a variety of networks, and in revolutionizing the media production workflow so that semantic connections support the user while removing inefficiencies.
Making Metadata Work will be a showcase for the latest developments in the evolution of the Semantic Web, exploitation of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS), metadata annotation to aid workflow automation, information retrieval in networks of diverse media assets, Linked Data, and other opportunities for using metadata. The day will be modular: attendance in the morning is optional, with a choice of workshop or tutorial, while the afternoon programme is for everyone.

DCMI-AsiaPac Workshop 2013
August 15, 2013 – August 15, 2013
DCMI Workshop on RDA, DC and Linked Data
Thursday, 15 August 2013
Jurong Regional Library, National Library Board Singapore
Held in conjunction with IFLA World Library and Information Congress 2013
17-23 August 2013
National Library Board Singapore
The DCMI-AsiaPac Workshop will be held a day before the IFLA IT Section's conference on "User interaction based on library linked data" on 16 August. IFLA WLIC itself will run from 17-23 August 2013. DCMI-AsiaPac is part of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative's Regional Meetings Series. The workshop will raise awareness among librarians in the Asian region of the implementation of Resource Description and Access (RDA) and how library metadata (specifically DC) can be exposed as linked data to improve visibility & enhance collection usage. Our objective is also to build confidence among Asian librarians to work well in the digital arena and be comfortable enough to adopt new technologies that will help improve their libraries' services. A secondary objective is to build a community for the DCMI Asia task group where regular discussion and work on metadata matters can be established.
The theme for the workshop will be "RDA, DC and LOD" and it will be made up of 2 half-day seminars. The morning seminar will focus on introductory concepts which are very important for our region where most librarians are still working with MARC and are not exposed to linked data or Semantic Web technologies. The afternoon seminar will focus on implementation—what and how librarians can expose both their MARC and DC metadata as linked data.

DCMI-UK Seminar: Five Years On
British Library
St Pancras, London, GB
April 26, 2012 – April 27, 2012
April 2012 marks the fifth anniversary of the Data Model Meeting at the British Library, London attended by participants interested in the fit between RDA: Resource Description and Access and the models used in other metadata communities, especially those working in the Semantic Web environment. This meeting, informally known as the "London Meeting", has proved to be a critical point in the trajectory of libraries from the traditional data view to linked data and the Semantic Web.
DCMI-UK in cooperation with DCMI International as well as others will co-sponsor a one-day seminar on Friday 27 April 2012 to describe progress since 2007, mark the anniversary, and look to further collaboration in the future.
Speakers include participants at the 2007 meeting and other significant players in library data and the Semantic Web. Papers from the seminar will be published by DCMI and available freely online.
The London Meeting stimulated significant development of Semantic Web representations of the major international bibliographic metadata models, including IFLA's Functional Requirements family and the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), and MARC as well as RDA itself. Attention is now beginning to focus on the management and sustainability of this activity, and the development of high-level semantic and data structures to support library applications.
