If you or someone you know are already headed to Seoul for the DCMI conference<https://www.dublincore.org/conferences/2026/>, August 3–7, please know that there may be an opportunity for an additional panelist to join an accepted session.

The conference theme is “Meaning-Driven AI: Using Metadata to Align Systems with Human Values.”

The panel sessionwill explore how the metadata community can better support colleagues and collaborators who are not metadata specialists, and what human-centered metadata work looks like in settings beyond dedicated metadata units. The conversation will consider how librarians, library leaders, faculty, and community partners engage with metadata in real-world contexts, including AI-enabled discovery, multilingual description, contributor-supplied metadata, Dublin Core implementation, and digital humanities projects. A particular focus will be on how leadership can foster more effective collaboration between metadata specialists and the many communities who depend on, interpret, contribute to, or extend their work.

Feel free to DM me or forward this communication on to anyone who is going and may have interest in serving as a panelist, and I’d be happy to provide more detail.
