This is to announce a workshop of invited participants on how to improve
access to and sharing of data by harmonizing metadata standards and
developing interoperable metadata registries accessible by the World Wide
Web. A central goal of the workshop will be to develop detailed
recommendations for registries of data element metadata and higher-level
metadata (e.g., for schemas, models, and metamodels). The workshop will
bring together researchers in formal methods (from the knowledge
representation and database communities), and other researchers and
practitioners from the database research, standards, metadata registry,
middleware and database vendor, GIS, EDI, and digital library communities.
