the application of information technologies (IT) to library and information=
=20
services in all societies, through activities related to standards,=20
education and training, research, and the marketplace. ITS scope includes=20
IT for the creation, organization, storage and maintenance, retrieval, and=
=20
transfer of information and documents of all types of libraries and=20
information centers. It also includes IT for the operation of libraries and=
=20
information centers, as well as managerial and policy issues regarding IT.=
=20
Of primary importance are network and wireless technologies as they apply=20
to IT as well as applications of IT for supporting access to and delivery=20
of information.
The G=F6ttingen State and University Library, Germany (SUB) is an=
outstanding=20
German academic library with numerous rare and comprehensive collections.=20
In several research projects the SUB has proved to be a leading institution=

service center (GDZ). The SUB's qualification to combine the preservation=20
of cultural heritage with future-oriented technology has been recognised by=
=20
the award "Library of the Year 2002".
Topics/Scope
The scope of this Satellite meeting will not only be to demonstrate new=20
developments in the field of (Dublin Core) metadata and their=20
implementations, but also to encourage even more organisations around the=20
world to use the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting=
=20
to exchange and share metadata collections (repositories).
Further objectives include discussions about important related issues like=
=20
long-term preservation and metadata registry.
One further important focus will be based on questions of follow-ups for=20
the next Dublin Core conference this year in Seattle (Washington, USA) from=

Affiliate concept.
For the Satellite meeting we expect an international range of interesting=20
talks exploring common approaches and challenges to the topic of DCMI=20
(state of the art report), metadata issues, long-term preservation, OAI and=
=20
registry. It will focus on different hot topics, like national OAI=20
activities, Dublin Core experiences and the daily use as well as special=20
