 Workshop Theme:

     This workshop is an introductory workshop to metadata for
     Internet resources. Concepts such as the Resource Description
     Framework (RDF) and qualifiers,  terms frequently associated with
     discussions about metadata, will be introduced and explained and
     set within a larger metadata context. The workshop does not
     presuppose any prior knowledge about metadata or about particular
     metadata schemes. It really is meant to be an introduction. Some
     basic familiarity with the Web will be helpful.
