Event Type: 
Conference
This Open Forum is the tenth annual forum in a series of international conferences about topics related to metadata, registries, interoperability, and semantics. It will focus on a series of core standards as well as on the selection, integration and use of multiple standards in actual systems.  The central goal of the Open Forum is to share and advance knowledge and experience about standards, the technologies that build upon them, and implementation experiences. 
   
The following standards will be discussed:
   
    Data Semantics:
    ISO/IEC 11179 (Metadata Registries)
   
    Terminology:
    ISO 704 (Principles of Terminology)
    ISO 1087-1 (Vocabulary for terminology work)
    ISO/TC 37/SC 4 (Language Resources Management)
   
    Interoperability:
    ISO/IEC 19763 (Framework for Metamodel Interoperability)
    ISO/IEC 20944 (Interoperability and bindings)
   
We will also discuss other standards from ISO such as Data Categories (12620), Geographic Metadata (19115), and Topic Maps (13250), and standards from other standards development organizations such as RDF, OWL, and SKOS from W3C; CWM, SBVR, and ODM from OMG; and ebXML from OASIS.
   
    Who Should Attend
   
    The conference will gather together standards developers, software developers, academics, and practitioners from the public and private sectors to demonstrate accomplishments and to discuss current and future efforts.  Attendees will have interests in metadata management and the use of international standards relating to data and terminology, with some having specialties in areas such as data search/retrieval, web search, and corporate data management.
