REMINDER: Open Forum on 
Metadata Registries

INTEGRATING STANDARDS IN PRACTICE 

10th Open Forum on Metadata Registries
New York City, NY  
USA
9 - 11 July 2007

This Open Forum is the 
tenth annual forum in a series of international conferences about topics related 
to metadata, registries, interoperability, and semantics. It will focus on a 
series of core standards as well as on the selection, integration and use of 
multiple standards in actual systems.  The central goal of the Open Forum 
is to share and advance knowledge and experience about standards, the 
technologies that build upon them, and implementation experiences.  

About the Program
The first day will be plenary sessions and 
an overview of standards that will be discussed during the course of the 
conference.  The second and third days are divided into multiple 
tracks.  The first track will discuss Knowledge Representation (Related to 
ISO 19763), Data Standards (Related to ISO 11179), Terminology Standards 
(Related to 704 and 1087-1), and Registration.  The second and third tracks 
are a mix of Tutorials on the major standards, talks about implementation of 
standards, and future directions.

rooms available in Manhattan at a rate below the U.S. government per diem, but
