OSCOM Talk on Dublin Core metadata and CMSs
Posted on 2003-04-20 03:57:54 CEST.
Introduction to Martin Langhoff's OSCOM 3 talk.
I am happy to announce that my talk on implementing DC metadata in the context of Open Source Content Management Systems will be part of the upcoming OSCOM 3 Conference.
The talk will focus on the shortcomings present in most Open Source Software (OSS) Content Management Systems/Frameworks when it comes to DC metadata, and different solutions to them. The talk is based on experience learnt in several projects that had a strong commitment to DC metadata, in particular TKI http://tki.org.nz/ and NZ's eGovernment website http://www.govt.nz/.
The talk will have a bias towards Midgard, as our current CMF of choice. I will be showing a limited metadata editor prototype based on Midgard's "parameter" or "record_extension" facility, and possibly a metadata library that I intend to release under LGPL.
You can find the outline of the talk here http://www.oscom.org/Conferences/Cambridge/Proposals/langhoff_dublincore_midgard.html, and the full program here http://www.oscom.org/Conferences/Cambridge/Program/.
I will be soon asking for feedback on my slides and support material. This is just another way to contribute to the conference, and your comments will be appreciated.
You can also participate blogging (please trackback to http://blog.oscom.org/) and generally spreading the word in related mailing lists, and potentially interested ears.
And coming. Registration is open, and I would like to encourage members of this community to consider participating. More info at http://www.oscom.org/Conferences/Cambridge/Registration.html.
