SUO: Metatopia 2001 Conference: Sept 20 & 21, 2001 at NIST

[Carpenter_J <Carpenter_J@bls.gov>]

Dear Colleagues:

 

On September 20-21, 2001, The Data Management Association, National Capitol Region (DAMA-NCR), NCITS L8 (Metadata), and NIST are sponsoring a Conference on the topics of Metadata and Data Management.

 

We are calling it Metatopia, as in "Metadata Utopia," as we believe that one of the best ways to improve data, information, and knowledge management is through concentrating on metadata.  We will have two tracks devoted to metadata, and two tracks on topics of general interest, for a total of four concurrent tracks for two days.  Keynote speakers are Jeff Tash and Michael Brackett.  Peter Aiken will offer a "mini-tutorial."  Vendors will demonstrate products.

 

All the information about the conference can be found at:

   www.dama-ncr.org/Metatopia2001  

We invite your attendance.

 

We hope to make this conference a useful learning experience and networking opportunity for the data management community.  If you have any questions, please contact one of the co-chairs of the conference listed at the website.

 

Thank you,

 

--Jim Carpenter (BLS) & Judith Newton (NIST)
