RLG Programs Metadata Tools Forum 8 May 2008 at
Dear Colleagues,
We
have updated the RLG Programs
Metadata Tools Forum Web page since we issued our invitation. In addition
to a more complete list of presenters who will showcase tools for creating
“more, better, faster, cheaper” metadata, we have added a link to
details about the hotel
room block we have reserved at a discounted rate for the
We
are bringing together developers and implementers, allowing tool developers to
showcase their tools and implementers a chance to consider which tools might be
usefully employed in their institutions. We expect that the forum will
also provide guidance and feedback to the research community and identify areas
where further tool development is needed.
Respondents
to the 2007 RLG Descriptive
Metadata Practices survey (.pdf: 99K/13 pp.) cited more than 260 tools
used for creating, editing, and storing metadata. This forum is focusing on
tools that expedite metadata creation or editing that can be used by multiple
institutions and do not require purchasing a new system—tools that rely
on commonly available software most institutions would already have in-house or
that are based on open source components.
