Vocabulary Management and Alignment Session (Pre-conference)
Meeting location: Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Prins Willem-Alexanderhof 5, The Hague, Netherlands. Meeting will take place in the Aula Room.
For those that cannot attend in person, the session will include limited remote participation through both IRC at #dcmi on irc.freenode.net and Skype.
Convenors: Corey Harper, Tom Baker, Gordon Dunsire, Diane Hillmann, Johannes Keizer & Jon Phipps
Agenda: At DC-2010, Mike Bergman's keynote strongly suggested that DCMI has a potential role in promoting co-operation among vocabulary managers and in providing best practices for vocabulary alignment and interoperability. The inevitable and useful proliferation of vocabularies emerging in the linked data space demonstrates a need for increased vocabulary reuse and tools to facilitate this reuse, as well as central reference vocabularies and tools to manage and encourage vocabulary mapping. Recent announcements about search engine support for schema.org and Microdata make the need even more prominent.
Toward this end, a first step was recently taken with the announcement of a collaboration effort between DCMI and FOAF. This full day special session will explore the scope and nature of vocabulary management issues, with illustrations from a variety of different domains and communities, and discuss a variety of proposals and ideas for how DCMI, the W3C and other committed organizations might contribute to both infrastructure and best practices for more effective vocabulary management and interoperability. For the purpose of this workshop, "vocabularies" refers to both property / element sets and value / controlled vocabularies.
Presentations from vocabulary managers present, soliciting input on needs and issues, will influence the details of subsequent discussions. Additionally, a survey will be distributed to attendees before the workshop to collect further context.

DCMI/NKOS Task Group Workshop
by Marcia Zeng
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/...
Mailing List: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/...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.

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.
Task Group Website: http://dublincore.org/groups/pro...
Wiki: http://wiki.bib.uni-mannheim.de/...
Mailing List: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/...Workshop Abstract: In this meeting, we will present the latest version of the domain model, element vocabulary and application profile, i.e. the results of the task group. Open questions will be discussed and the outcome of this meeting will be incorporated in the final deliverables of the task group that is planned to end until the end of the year.

Special Session: Envisioning DCMI Future Publishing
Convenors: Stuart Sutton & Tom Baker
Purpose: The purpose of this session will be to assist DCMI in setting an agenda for the possible extension of its publishing activities. The session will explore DCMI's existing and future publication needs, opportunities and mechanisms.
Agenda: In 2007, DCMI implemented the Public Knowledge Project's (PKP) Open Journal System (OJS) [1] to consolidate its proceedings and provide a stable, open source platform to manage peer review, publication and proceedings metadata distribution through OMI/PMH. Currently, the OJS is used by over 8,000 online journals worldwide—many in developing parts of the world. With DC-2011, DCMI also shifts the International Conference to the PKP's Open Conference System (OCS) to enable consistent access to its conference sites and to open the window for assisting with management of regional DCMI meetings and conferences and the preservation of conference resources.[2] While the OJS has been used to date as the permanent platform for publication of the proceedings for the DCMI International Conference, it is capable of handling any number of additional, distinct publications with full peer review and workflow management. Part of this session will explore how expanding the formal publication activities of DCMI through the OJS and OCS platforms might effectively support DCMI's mission. Session considerations might include creation of editorial boards, publication of a DCMI Occasional Paper series, publication of an invited papers series, editor-managed themed issues, and regional publications in languages other than English.
In addition to the OJS and OCS, DCMI is also shifting from its current wiki infrastructure to MediaWiki to better serve its communities and task groups. However, MediaWiki also provides DCMI the opportunity to extend its reach beyond the working context of communities and task groups to a larger global community interested in metadata design, vocabulary management and best practices. This session will accommodate a discussion of the current and future roles of DCMI MediaWiki—e.g., can we envision uses of the MediaWiki evolving into a sort of Wikipedia for metadata and ontology creation and management? How might such new uses be woven into the DCMI mission?
While the session moderators will "prime the pump", the goal of the session will be to brainstorm opportunities for the DCMI community to leverage these new platforms to better reach a wider, more global audience regarding new innovations in metadata and metadata best practices.
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.
