Workshop: Dublin Core Metadata Initiative Workshop Support

都柏林核心元数据进程始于1995年，汇集了多学科的实践者和理论家，以解决与互联网上电子资源资源描述标准有关的问题。元数据定义和标准采用方面的进展对建立大规模、分布式数字图书馆至关重要。元数据对于提供上下文数据至关重要，信息对象通过这些数据获得意义和可用性。都柏林核心元数据进程在确定元数据议程和建立国际共识方面特别成功。它在大约25个国家催生了包含其基本要素集的项目，涵盖了许多学科主题材料。

The Dublin Core metadata process began in 1995 and has brought together a multidisciplinary spectrum of practitioners and theoreticians to address issues related to standards for resource description of electronic resources on the internet.Progress in metadata definition and standards adoption is critical to building large scale, distributed digital libraries. Metadata is essential to providing contextual data through which information objects gain meaning and usability. The Dublin Core metadata process has been particularly successful in defining the metadata agenda and building international consensus. It has spawned projects incorporating its basic element sets in about 25 countries, covering numerous disciplinary subject materials.
