Abstract
The panelists are collaborating on a Coalition for Networked Information (CNI)
initiative to prepare a white paper that examines problems associated with
identifying, selecting, and retrieving information in widely distributed
heterogenerous environments. This session will include a report on research
that explores architectural issues related to improving nidr, particularly
as they pertain to metadata used in conjunction with nidr tools. The
panelists will explore the role of metadata in improving nidr and discuss
the elements beyond metadata that are needed to achieve a more robust nidr.
They also will report on the outcome of an effort to cross-map metadata
across many domains into a generic element set and the implications of this
effort for the development of URC's and other core element sets such as the
one that resulted from the OCLC/NCSA Metadata Conference.
