Dear Colleagues:
The submission deadline has been EXTENDED TO 5 APRIL 2013 for papers,
project reports, and posters for DC-2013 in Lisbon.
======================================================
Call for Papers: http://purl.org/dcevents/dc-2013/cfp
Conference Website: http://purl.org/dcevents/dc-2013
Conference Dates: 2-6 September 2013
======================================================
The DC-2013 conference theme is "Linking to the Future":
"DC-2013 will explore questions regarding the persistence, maintenance, and
preservation of metadata and descriptive vocabularies. The need for stable
representations and descriptions spans all sectors including cultural
heritage and scientific data, eGovernment, finance and commerce. Thus, the
maintenance and management of metadata is essential to address the long
term availability of information of legal, cultural and economic value. On
the web, data -- and especially descriptive vocabularies -- can change or
vanish from one moment to the next. Nonetheless, the web increasingly forms
the ecosystem for our vocabularies and our data. DC-2013 will bring
together in Lisbon the community of metadata scholars and practitioners to
engage in the exchange of knowledge and best practices in developing a
sustainable metadata ecosystem."
Beyond the conference theme, DCMI welcomes submissions of papers, project
reports and posters addressing the broad array of topics impacting metadata
research, design, and practice in domain and cross-domain contexts. Such
contexts include, but are not limited to, corporations, cultural memory
institutions, education, government, scientific fields, recordkeeping,
preservation, curation, institutional repositories, and publishing.
======================================================
DC-2013 in Lisbon will be collocated, and run simultaneously with,
iPRES-2013 offering delegates the opportunity to attend sessions of both
conferences and to build bridges between these synergistic groups.
"Linking to the Future" demands attention to preservation and linkages to
the past.

The DCMI Metadata Provenance Task Group [1] is collaborating with the W3C
Provenance Working Group [2] on a mapping from Dublin Core terms to the PROV
provenance ontology [3], currently a W3C Proposed Recommendation. More
precisely, the document describes a partial mapping from DCMI Metadata Terms
[4] to the PROV-O OWL2 ontology [5] -- a set of classes and properties
usable
for representing and interchanging information about provenance. Numerous
terms
in the DCMI vocabulary provide information about the provenance of a
resource.
Translating these terms into PROV relates this information explicitly to the
W3C provenance model.
The mapping is currently a W3C Working Draft. The final state of the
document
will be that of a W3C Note, to be published as part of a suite of documents
in
support of a W3C Recommendation for provenance interchange [6].
DCMI would like to point to the W3C Note as a DCMI Recommended Resource and
therefore encourages the Dublin Core community to provide feedback and take
part in the finalization of the mapping.
The deadline for all comments is 7 April 2013. We recommend that comments
be
provided directly to the public W3C list for comments:
public-prov-comments(a)w3.org [7], ideally with a Cc: to DCMI's dc-provenance
list [8]. Comments sent only to the dc-provenance list will be summarized
on
the W3C list and addressed, and discussions on the W3C list will be
summarized
back on the dc-provenance list when appropriate.
