   - 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
