  • Submission and selection process

Call for Proposals:

“DC-2009 Conference Tutorials” Proposals are invited from anyone interested in delivering tutorials at the Dublin Core Conference to be held in Seoul, Korea from 12 to 16 October. We wish to include both Introductory and Advanced tutorials in the programme, and would welcome proposals in both categories, as described below.

Introductory Tutorials

A half-day introductory tutorial stream is envisaged for the Monday before the main conference (12 October). It is expected that this will be comprised of two sessions of two hours. The purpose of this stream is to give new participants a thorough grounding in the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. In particular, the tutorials should cover:

  • the development and focus of DCMI
  • the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set
  • the Dublin Core Abstract Model, its role and key concepts
  • the Singapore Framework, and the development and use of Dublin Core Application Profiles
Support for attendance will be provided to presenters of introductory tutorials. Proposals are invited from individuals, indicating the topics they would cover, relevant experience, and the learning approach. Joint proposals covering the all the desired material are particularly encouraged.

Submission and selection process

The language for all tutorials will be English. Proposals should be submitted by 15 May to the Tutorial Chairs. Please feel free to contact us with any queries regarding this call. Successful proposals will be advised by 22 June, in line with notification of paper acceptance for the main conference. It is expected that tutorial presenters will provide handout materials by 11 September in time for copying and inclusion in conference material for delegates. Authors of tutorial materials need to agree to grant DCMI a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use, copy and distribute the material and/or create adaptations or derivatives from the material in any medium for any purpose and without fee or royalty.
