Apologies for Cross-Posting.

===================================================
CALL FOR PROPOSALS: DC-2009 Conference Tutorials
===================================================

International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications:
"Semantic Interoperability of Linked Data"

12-16 October 2009, Seoul, Korea

---------------------------------------------------

"DC-2009 Conference Tutorials" Proposals are invited from anyone interested
in delivering
tutorials at the Dublin Core 2009 Conference to be held in Seoul, Korea from
12 to 16 October
2009. We wish to include both Introductory and Advanced tutorials in the
programme, and
would welcome proposals in both categories, as described below.

---------------------------------------------------
Introductory Tutorials

A half-day introductory tutorial stream is envisaged for the Monday before
the main conference
(12 October 2009). It is expected that this will be comprised of two
sessions of two hours. The
purpose of this stream is to give new participants a thorough grounding in
the Dublin Core
Metadata Initiative. In particular, the tutorials should cover:
• the development and focus of DCMI
• the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set
• the Dublin Core Abstract Model, its role and key concepts
• the Singapore Framework, and the development and use of Dublin Core
Application

---------------------------------------------------
Profiles

Support for attendance will be provided to presenters of introductory
tutorials. Proposals are
invited from individuals, indicating the topics they would cover, relevant
experience, and the
learning approach. Joint proposals covering the all the desired material are
particularly
encouraged.

---------------------------------------------------
Advanced Tutorials

DC-2009 will focus on linked data and the enabling of the Semantic Web.
Conference
participants will explore the conceptual and practical issues in breaking
the constraints of data
silos and connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge. Proposals
for advanced
tutorials are invited that would explore practice issues related to this
theme. It is envisaged that
advanced tutorials would be offered twice, on the Monday (12 October 2009)
and Friday (16
October 2009), and proposals for both half and full day tutorials are
welcome. No direct support
will be provided to advanced tutorial presenters, but revenue will be split
between the
Conference and the presenters. (Registration for half day tutorials will be
US$100, for full day
tutorials US$200).

---------------------------------------------------
Submission and selection process

The language for all tutorials will be English. Proposals should be
submitted by 15 May 2009 to
the Tutorial Chairs, John Roberts (john.roberts at archives.govt.nz) and Heesop
Kim
(heesop at mail.knu.ac.kr). Please feel free to contact us with any queries
regarding this call.
Successful proposals will be advised by 22 June 2009, in line with
notification of paper
acceptance for the main conference. It is expected that tutorial presenters
will provide handout
materials by 11 September 2009 in time for copying and inclusion in
conference material for
delegates. Authors of tutorial materials need to agree to grant DCMI a
