Dear colleagues,

April 30 to May 3 in Heraklion would fit me very well!

Best,

Martin

As we discussed at the meeting in Amsterdam in November, I said I would send 
you the dates of the libraries and Semantic Web event I
mentioned, to help schedule the next meeting of the frbr-crm group - I think we 
were offered Paris or Heraklion. Both are easy to get to
from London. It would be good if we can schedule the next meeting to follow 
this event in London, as it will be far more convenient, and
cheaper, for anyone with long distances to travel to London.


Details:


    *April 2012 marks the fifth anniversary of the Data Model Meeting [1] at 
the British Library, London attended by participants interested
    in the fit between RDA: resource description and access and the models used 
in other metadata communities, especially those working in
    the Semantic Web environment. This meeting, informally known as the “London 
Meeting”, has proved to be a critical point in the
    trajectory of libraries from the traditional data view to linked data and 
the Semantic Web. *


DCMI (Dublin Core Metadata Initiative) and others will host a one-day seminar 
on Friday 27 April 2012 to describe progress since 2007, mark
the anniversary, and look to further collaboration in the future.

Speakers will include participants at the 2007 meeting and other significant 
players in library data and the Semantic Web. Papers from the
seminar will be published by DCMI and available freely online.

The seminar will be preceded by inaugural meetings of the new DCMI Vocabulary 
Management Community [2] and DCMI Bibliographic Metadata Task
Group [3] on Thursday 28 April 2012 which will be open to all.

The venue for both days is the British Library, St Pancras, London.

The London Meeting stimulated significant development of Semantic Web 
representations of the major international bibliographic metadata
models, including IFLA’s Functional Requirements family and the International 
Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), and MARC as well as
RDA itself. Attention is now beginning to focus on the management and 
sustainability of this activity, and the development of high-level
semantic and data structures to support library applications.

This is a preliminary announcement; further information will be circulated in 
due course and published via [2] and [3].
