Dear all,

Apologies for cross posting.

August 31 is the last day to enjoy the “Early bird” rates for the 2009
International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications (DC2009)
to be held from 12 through 16 October 2009 in Seoul, Korea. Participants are
invited to register online at the conference Web site and book accommodation
for their stay in Seoul.

This year's conference focuses on the *Semantic Interoperability of Linked
Data*.

The main conference is taking place from Tuesday through Thursday, 13 to 15
October. Keynotes, plenary presentations and public working-group meetings
will be held in parallel on topics ranging from

   - Metadata principles, guidelines, and best practices
   - Metadata quality, normalization, and mapping
   - Conceptual models and frameworks (e.g., RDF, DCAM, OAIS)
   - Application profiles
   - Metadata interoperability across domains, languages, and time
   - Cross-domain metadata uses (e.g., recordkeeping, preservation,
   institutional repositories)
   - Domain metadata (e.g., for corporations, cultural memory institutions,
   education, government, and scientific fields)
   - Bibliographic standards (e.g., RDA, FRBR, subject headings) as Semantic
   Web vocabularies
   - Accessibility metadata
   - Metadata for scientific data
   - Metadata in e-Science and grid applications
   - Social tagging
   - Knowledge Organization Systems (e.g., ontologies, taxonomies, authority
   files, folksonomies, and thesauri) and Simple Knowledge Organization Systems
   (SKOS)
   - Ontology design and development
   - Integration of metadata and ontologies
