2004--Call for Participation

 

Organizing Committee members the 
2003 Open Forum on Metadata Registries,

 

Planning is well along for Open 
Forum 2004. Could you help to notify potential participants? This message 
contains text for an email call for participation for Open Forum 2004. Could you 
tailor this message and send it to the distribution lists that you used last 
year? The message below is also attached as a file.

 

I will also send out a message (Call 
for Participation)  to the participants and others interested in last 
year’s Open Forum.

 

Thanks.

You are 
invited to participate in the International Open Forum on Metadata Registries, 
this year titled: The Open Forum for eBusiness and Metadata Technology 
Standardization, to be held May 17-10, 2004 in Xian, China.

This is the 
seventh in a series of international conferences about topics related to 
metadata registries. (Last year the Open Forum was held in Santa 
Fe, New Mexico, USA.) Participants will explore the capabilities, uses, content, 
development, and operation of registries and related technologies. Emphasis 
is on the management of metadata for eBusiness and eGovernment.

This Open 
Forum will concentrate on the following technologies:

  
ISO/IEC 11179 Metadata Registries 
  
Model Driven Architecture 
  
ebXML 
  
MetaModel Facilities 
  
Case studies 
  
Terminology/Ontology/Concept Structures 
  

 

These technologies help enterprise managers to manage 
their data, information systems and information services. The conference will 
gather standards developers, software developers, and practitioners in these 
fields to demonstrate accomplishments and to discuss current and future 
efforts.

An 
initial web site is available at www.metadata-standards.org/OpenForum2004

An official web site will be opened 
soon by the host in China. 

The Open 
Forum is being organized by leaders from standards bodies, government, private
