                       Second IEEE Metadata Conference
     
                               CALL FOR PAPERS
     
   * Location: NOAA Auditorium, Silver Spring, Maryland 
   * Dates: 16 - 17 September 1997
   * For more information: http://www.llnl.gov/liv_comp/metadata/md97.html

The IEEE Metadata Conference goal is to encourage discussion of metadata 
issues. Metadata is loosely defined as "data about data", or "additional 
information that is necessary for data to be useful". Papers that contribute 
to practical understanding are strongly encouraged. Survey papers, short 
tutorial papers, and product or project experiences are welcome. 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 can 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 1000 words for potential papers and 
panel proposals, along with abstracts of poster and/or demo presentations of 
up to 500 words of text.
     
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
     
   * Metadata Management:
        o 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
        o metadata mining/extraction
        o metadata for mass storage and warehousing 
        o integrating multi-level metadata
        o metadata repository architecture
        o systems for managing metadata
             + recording/providing/accessing/utilizing 
             + WWW-based metadata management
   * Application-specific issues of metadata:
        o earth sciences (weather/climate, ecosystems) 
        o resource management (mining, agriculture)
        o other data-intensive application areas (census, film/video
          archives, etc.)
   * Emerging applications in Global Information Infrastructure, including
        o Digital library metadata issues:
             + search through multimedia documents
             + metadata for multimedia and heterogeneous digital data 
             + metadata for mass storage
        o metadata for managing WWW-based information resources 
        o information/electronic commerce
   * Standards:
        o government "documents" (email, voicemail, ..), 
        o tape format and file metadata,
        o self-describing data formats (such as netcdf) 
        o survey of existing standards
        o bridging multiple overlapping metadata 'standards'
        o standards for information interchange and stewardship
   * Working Systems demonstrating any aspects related to metadata
