Re: 4th Australian Metadata Conference - 2011 - Call for Presentations and Case Studies

[Gannon Dick]

How about "Governance Realities", Chris ?  I don't think we ever came to a 
consensus about the differences between metadata in the Public Domain (versus 
the Private Sector).

I am making some progress on the empirical identification of {metadata stuff} 
though ...

  Hi all

  

  For the interest of Australian list members (and others) - Call
  for Presentations and Case Studies at "Meta 2011 - Business
  Realities and Implications". I'll only post this call twice (once
  more towards the end date for submissions as a reminder) so please
  don't consider it spam.

  

  Don't let the name fool you - realistically we're after
  presentations and case studies on any real and practical metadata
  implementations, especially in the Gov space but with an eye for
  the commercial market too (LOD and SemWeb guys - I'm looking at
  you here ;) ). Even a group offering from the W3 community would
  be awesome, and IG hat on for a second, a great way to push some
  E&O as always.

  

  If you've got something to share, or a great project you'd like to
  showcase, let us know! I have every faith that the W3 e-Gov, LOD
  and SemWeb IG and WG crowds will come through with some great
  offerings. And we don't mind if you are international - we'll be
  able to post case studies online, and will have a tweet-up and
  live blog happening as well - anything to spread the sweet eGov
  open data and web 3.0 word.

  

  Please pass on to any you may think would be intersted!

  

  Happy to answer any questions off list, or point you to the right
  people to talk to.

  

  Cheers

  

  Chris.
