10th Annual Open Forum for Metadata Registries

Integrating Standards in Practice

You are invited to participate in the 10th annual International Open Forum for Metadata Registries to be held in New York, NY, from 9 - 11 July 2007. Participants will hear a mix of plenaries, case studies, implementation experiences, practical applications, research projects, and advanced development activities. The main theme of the meeting is the value added by using several standards together in applications. Too often, people become adherents to a standard, and start to believe it can solve all the world's problems. The purpose of the conference is to show that the opposite is true. Using standards for the purpose for which they were designed and using multiple ones in appropriate ways is a more effective approach.
