Subject: Distribute Call for Proposals
PC members; The final version of the Call for Papers for the IEEE Meta-Data
Conference is appended. Please distribute widely and send me a message
listing
your distribution channels. I will post this list on our PC Web site so that
we
can avoid duplication and maximize the advertising of the conference.
Thank you for your help.

Third IEEE Meta-Data Conference
CALL FOR PAPERS
Location: National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA
Dates: 6-7 April 1999
For more information:
http://www.llnl.gov/liv_comp/metadata/md99/md99.html
Sponsored by:
IEEE Computer Society - Mass Storage Systems and Technology Technical
Committee
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Raytheon STX Corporation
The goal of the IEEE Meta-Data Conference is to encourage discussion of
metadata-related issues. Papers that contribute to practical understanding,
with an emphasis on best practices, are strongly encouraged. Innovative
metadata projects or approaches that have achieved maturity are
welcome. Papers presenting a vision that builds on the evolution of current
capabilities (e.g., advanced search capabilities; data mining; knowledge
management for the novice and the expert; role of metadata in enabling novel
and sophisticated applications exploiting digital data across heterogeneous
environments) are of great interest. Survey papers, short tutorial papers,
and product or project experiences are also requested.
Previously published papers will not be considered.
Panel proposals should describe the topic, intended audience, and list the
likely participants. Panels should discuss topics that involve the audience
rather than being mini-paper sessions. Proposals for poster displays and/or
demonstrations should focus on presenting novel and interesting technical
aspects of metadata research or development. Soon-to-be products that
emphasize
substantial technical support for metadata are also welcome.
We are soliciting abstracts of 500 to 2000 words for potential papers and
panel proposals. Abstracts of poster and/or demo presentations of
up to 500 words of text are requested. Only those pages of the abstract
not exceeding the word limit will be reviewed.
Topics of interest include the following:
Metadata Management:
+ modeling and representation of metadata, including
-impact of modeling choices (oo, relational, ..) on
extensibility of metadata
-impact of metadata on storage, retrievability and use of
data
-metadata for logical/semantic representation of the WWW
+ data mining/knowledge extraction tools
+ metadata for mass storage and warehousing
+ metadata for semi-structured data
+ integrating multi-level metadata
+ metadata repository architecture
+ metadata for directory services (e.g., LDAP and X.500)
+ systems for managing metadata
-recording/providing/accessing/utilizing
-WWW-based metadata management
Application-specific issues of metadata:
+ efficient development of metadata (e.g., XML and WebDAV
(Distributed Authoring and Versioning) and the OpenGIS
cataloging standard
+ earth sciences and resource management (weather/climate,
ecosystems)
+ other data-intensive application areas (health sciences, census,
film/video archives, etc.)
Emerging applications in Global Information Infrastructure, including
+ Digital library metadata issues:
-search through multimedia documents and across heterogeneous
systems
-metadata for multimedia and heterogeneous digital data
-metadata for mass storage
+ metadata for managing WWW-based information resources
Standards:
+ metadata, FOIA, and EFOIA (Electronic Freedom of Information
Act)
+ bridging multiple overlapping metadata 'standards'
+ international standards efforts
Working Systems demonstrating any aspects related to metadata
Authors MUST submit electronic "contact information" for their
abstracts to be accepted. See the conference homepage for electronic
