Initiative

==========================ooo===============================
   
The DCMI 2003 Program Committee invites papers and posters in the 
following categories of metadata and related topics:

	* Conceptual models and fundamental principles
  	* Globalization and localization
  	* Community or domain metadata (statistical, government, 
	geo-spatial, etc.)
  	* Enterprise metadata
  	* Metadata registries and registry services
  	* Interoperability among metadata systems and standards
  	* Search engines and metadata
  	* Implementation of systems and tools for metadata applications

The Committee emphasizes that the scope of the DC2003 Conference
Track is broad in the sense that it is NOT limited to research and
development focussing solely on the Dublin Core metadata element set. 
Rather, the Conference Track seeks to bring together researchers and 
implementers concerned with metadata issues in a broad array of contexts
as those issues affect both cross-domain and discourse/practice community
resource discovery, retrieval, use and management. 

The full text of papers is required at initial sumission.  Significant 
deadlines are as follows:
  	* May 3, 2003: Contributed papers due
  	* May 17, 2003: Proposals for posters due
  	* June 7, 2003: Authors and poster proposers notified
  	* July 5, 2003: Camera-ready copy due for papers and posters

Submission details can be found at the Conference web site at:

http://dc2003.ischool.washington.edu/call.html

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the DC2003 Program Committee 
and accepted papers and posters will be published on line and in print 
as the DC2003 Conference Proceedings.  All accepted papers are 
expected to be presented by one or more of the authors at the conference.
