- Discussion on application profiles for RDA
- Relationships between RDA and related namespaces
- Close.
This meeting is open to all, and the attendance of newcomers and non-experts is welcome.

DCMI Libraries Community Workshop
Convenors: Stefanie Ruehle, Sarah Hartman & Sally Chambers
Community Charter: The DCMI Library Community is a forum for individuals and organisations in the library domain to exchange information and experience about the use of Dublin Core metadata in a library context and to encourage best practice.
Community Website: http://dublincore.org/groups/libraries/
Mailing List: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/DC-LIBRARIES.html
Workshop Abstract: In this session we will introduce the Europeana Data Model (EDM) and show how Europeana Libraries (see: http://www.europeana-libraries.eu/) a project to develop a sustainable library-domain aggregation infrastructure for Europeana will investigate how library-domain metadata can be aligned with the EDM. The Europeana Data Model is being developed by Europeana, a portal that gives access to the digitised cultural and scientific heritage of Europe (see: http://www.europeana.eu/portal/). It is intended as an integration medium for collecting, connecting and enriching the descriptions provided by Europeana content providers. EDM has been developed reusing classes and properties from other namespaces wherever possible, including RDF, SKOS, OAI-ORE and Dublin Core. Furthermore, Europeana is beginning to experiment with Linked Open Data, undertaking a pilot with willing partners, including libraries.
Agenda:
- Welcome and introduction
- The Europeana Data Model (EDM)
- Examples how EDM works for libraries
- Discussion
- Closing

Metadata Provenance Task Group Workshop
Convenors: Kai Eckert & Michael Panzer
Task Group Charter: The task group aims to define an application profile that allows for making assertions about description statements or description sets. The AP should create a shared model of the data elements required to satisfactorily describe an aggregation of metadata statements in order to collectively import, asses, use and publish facts about the quality, rights, timeliness, data source type, trust situation, etc. of the described statements. Since metadata provenance information is in itself metadata, it should be possible to be republished in quite the same way and in conjunction with the metadata statements or sets it describes. The task group is charged to also create usage guidelines that outline ways to connect “content” metadata aggregations with its provenance metadata in a way robust enough to survive multiple republication processes.

DC-Government Community Workshop
Convenors: Hans Overbeek & John Roberts
Community Charter: The DC-Government community is a forum for individuals and organizations involved in implementing Dublin Core metadata in a context of government agencies and International Governmental Organizations (IGO's), with the objective to promote the application of Dublin Core metadata in that context.
Community Website: http://dublincore.org/groups/government/
Mailing List: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/DC-GOVERNMENT.html

Agenda:
- Introductions and scene setting
- Governance of the community
Due to change of focus in his work, Palle Aagaard has decided to step down as co-chair of the DC-Government community. John Roberts has indicated he doesn't want to be the exclusive chair of the community. Hans Overbeek has put himself candidate for the position of Palle. Anyone else who is interested to chair or co-chair the DC-Government community is encouraged to step forward. The workshop will decide who will chair the community. - Lightning presentations and discussion on vocabularies
We invite representatives of government organisations to give a brief presentation on how they use metadata for government information. For example the use of vocabularies in the government domain. Do you have any experience with creating and maintaining a local vocabulary or with using core vocabularies of others (like EuroVOC, AGROVOC, GEMET) in your application, this is your opportunity to share your lessons learned and your issues with other people in the government domain.
Please announce your contribution to Hans Overbeek who will convene this workshop. Expected contributions by: Ton Zijlstra of EPSI and Hans Overbeek of the Dutch government - Future charter and group activity
Decision on continuation of the DC-Government community - Closing
This meeting is intended to be accessible to all, including those who have not previously attended DCMI events. The participation of newcomers and non-experts is encouraged. There will be time set aside at the meeting for participants to raise any topics about using Dublin Core for government metadata. If you would like to propose additional items or have any immediate questions about the meeting, please contact Hans Overbeek.
DCMI/NKOS Task Group Workshop
Convenors: Marcia Zeng, Margie Hlava, Douglas Tudhope & Traugott Koch
Task Group Charter: The DCMI/NKOS Task Group targets to develop a Dublin Core Application Profile for KOS resources based on the work the NKOS group members have already done during the last decade. The application profile will be further tested by professionals and researchers.
Task Group Website: http://dublincore.org/groups/nkos/
Wiki: http://www.metadataetc.org/wiki/dcmi-nkos/doku.php
Mailing List: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/DC-NKOS.html
Workshop Abstract: The DCMI/NKOS Task Group’s overriding goal is to establish an application profile for the KOS Resources. This effort is building on and incorporating work completed by NKOS members over the last decade. Major progress was achieved during the DC-2010 conference, yet a great volume of work needs to be done before an application profile can be fully developed. At the current stage, the use case study has been limited to registries. Other use cases need to be collected. The proposed general domain model also needs to be tailored to meet the functional requirements for the KOS Resources description. The metadata terms will be further revised based on the updated related standards. Finally, the KOS Taxonomy and KOS Typology need to be harmonized into a functional product.
Agenda: In this workshop, we will discuss the latest use case documents and the mapped descriptive metadata and administrative metadata terms proposed by Margie Hlava, with the refining of the domain model proposed by Maja Zumer and terms based on the work of Diane Vizine-Goetz . Another outcome should be the harmonization of the KOS typology based on Doug Tudhope and NKOS KOS Taxonomy as well as its presentation format. Other issues that surface before the workshop will be added to the agenda and discussed accordingly. In relation to the use cases, a discussion may be added regarding the internal data structures of KOS using the analysis of that of AGROVOC, AAT, MADS, etc.
This meeting is intended to be open to anyone. If you have any immediate questions about the meeting, please contact Marcia Zeng.
