                                META-DATA '99

                      THIRD IEEE META-DATA CONFERENCE

                               Sponsored by:
              IEEE Computer Society Mass Storage Systems and
                      Technology Technical Committee,
            National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
                         Raytheon ITSS Corporation,
                    National Imagery and Mapping Agency

   In cooperation with IEEE Computer Society Digital Libraries Task Force


The objectives of this conference are to (1) provide a forum to address
metadata issues faced by the various communities including mass storage,
data management, image and multimedia processing, and distributed
computing, as well as managers of networked heterogeneous information
servers, (2) bring the different communities together for technical
interchange of ideas on common technologies and standards related to
metadata; (3) hear the various perspectives from the users as well as
from the producers of metadata; and (4) facilitate the development and
usage of metadata. We invite participants from academia, government, and
industry to share ideas and experiences.

The technical program for the conference consists of papers, poster
presentations and panels addressing (among others) the following topics:

                    Meta-data for:
                     - Management & modeling
                     - Semantic representation of the WWW
                     - Mass storage and warehousing
                     - Managing WWW-based information resources

                     Meta-data mining & extraction
                     Meta-data catalogs
                     Systems for managing metadata
                     Application-specific metadata
                     Digital library metadata issues
                     Efficient development of metadata
                     Standards
