>(e.g., census and labor/economic statistics), transportation, aeronautics &
>space, geographic information, electronic commerce and emerging
>technologies (e.g., XML, common business objects and object query interfaces).
>
>In addition to a focus on managing metadata about data elements and
>structures containing data elements (e.g., data models, data bases, EDI
>messages, queries, reports, regulations, standards, etc.), special
>attention will be given to managing basic semantics -- concepts and concept
>structures: controlled vocabularies, dictionaries, thesauri, ontologies and
>data element components such as value domains. Presentations will range
>from use of metadata registries for data standardization/data documentation
>to advanced uses including a demonstration of Intelligent Information
>Services--an ontology-based agent system for accessing environmental data
>in systems dispersed between US and European organizations.
