-- DC-2013, LINKING TO THE FUTURE *** explores questions regarding the
persistence, maintenance, and preservation of metadata and descriptive
vocabularies. The need for stable representations and descriptions spans
all sectors including cultural heritage and scientific data, eGovernment,
finance and commerce. Thus, the maintenance and management of metadata is
essential to address the long term availability of information of legal,
cultural and economic value.
