Craig Thompson passed this on to me -- don't know much about it, but DAML clearly falls into its coverage -JH > http://www.dama-ncr.org/Programs/Metatopia2001/CallForPapers.html > Sender: owner-dbworld@cs.wisc.edu > Precedence: bulk > To: undisclosed-recipients:; > X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 > > Call For Papers > [ <http://www.dama-ncr.org/>Home ] [ > <http://www.dama-ncr.org/Announcements.htm>Up ] > > > > DAMA-NCR > & > ANSI NCITS Metadata Committee > > Present > > Metatopia 2001: > > A Symposium On Metadata and Data Management > > > Dates: > September 20 & 21, 2001 > > Location: National Institutes for Standards and Technology (NIST), > Gaithersburg, Maryland > > Theme: Metatopia - The Best Data For All Possible Worlds > > Metatopia is the ideal world where all data are well managed. > Standards are the foundation stones of Metatopia, a place where data > managers store their metadata treasures in distributed registries for all > to use. Strong data structures of reusable materials are constructed, > efficiently built using shared expertise and information. Metatopia is > impervious to woodpeckers, for the materials are as strong as the design > is elegant. Roadmaps are freely available, making navigation through the > environment easy. The inhabitants have the advantage of using the latest > data management tools. The quality of life in Metatopia is high!
