Advance Program for
META-DATA '99
THIRD IEEE META-DATA CONFERENCE
Sponsored by:
IEEE Computer Society Mass Storage Systems and Technology Technical
ommittee,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
Raytheon ITSS Corporation,
National Imagery and Mapping Agency,
In cooperation with IEEE Computer Society Digital Libraries Task Force
The objectives of this conference are to (1) provide a forum to address
metadata issues faced by the various communities including mass storage,
data management, image and multimedia processing, and distributed
computing, as well as managers of networked heterogeneous information
servers, (2) bring the different communities together for technical
interchange of ideas on common technologies and standards related to
metadata; (3) hear the various perspectives from the users as well as
from the producers of metadata; and (4) facilitate the development and
usage of metadata. We invite participants from academia, government, and
industry to share ideas and experiences.
The technical program for the conference consists of papers, poster
presentations and panels addressing (among others) the following topics:
Meta-data for:
- Management & modeling
- Semantic representation of the WWW
- Mass storage and warehousing
- Managing WWW-based information resources
Meta-data mining & extraction
Meta-data catalogs
Systems for managing metadata
Application-specific metadata
Digital library metadata issues
Efficient development of metadata
Standards
Working systems
