Reference to the published proceedings for DC-2010 may be of further assistance with matters of document formatting.

Maximum submission length for each category of submission as well as evaluation criteria are set out in the Call for Papers at http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/dc-2011/schedConf/cfp.

DCMI adheres to a blind peer review process in which reviewer identities are unknown to authors. It does not use a double-blind review process; therefore, author identities are known to reviewers.
