2.  AHDS/UKOLN FINAL WORKSHOP REPORTS ON HUMANITIES RESOURCE DISCOVERY ISSUES


The Arts and Humanities Data Service and the UK Office for Library and

metadata, Dublin Core, and resource discovery issues. Between March and May
1997 six workshops were organised to cover the subject areas of
archaeology; digital sound; electronic texts; history; moving images; and
the visual arts, museums and cultural heritage. Each workshop has now
produced a final report which is available online. Details and links to
these reports are available from:

RE:  Metadata Summit Meeting Report

On July 1, 1997, the Research Libraries Group hosted an invitational
"summit" meeting on metadata issues.  This meeting was an outgrowth of the
work of the Task Force on Meta Access of the Association of Library
Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS).  The participants represented a
variety of research information projects, standards groups and related
communities.

The goal of the Summit was to identify metadata issues that have special
relevance for the research community in order to identify, if possible, a
common action agenda.  Much of the discussion centered on the potential
role of the Dublin Core elements as a mechanism for discovery of
information resources available via the Internet, but which are not static
html-Web pages.  A full report on the meeting is available on the RLG Web
site: <http://www.rlg.org/meta9707.html>
