The Warwick Metadata Workshop: A Framework for the Deployment of Resource Description

This paper presents information regarding work done during the OCLC/UKOLN Warwick Metadata Workshop held in April 1996 at Warwick University, Warwick, U.K. The focus of this workshop was on the problem of the deployment of metadata for networked information resources. The Dublin Core metadata elements, defined at the OCLC/NCSA Metadata Workshop held in March 1995 in Dublin, Ohio, formed the basis for the discussions. The final deliverable was the Warwick Framework, a description of a container architecture for aggregating metadata objects of interchange, as well as descriptions for how to implement this architecture.
