W3C Workshop on Metadata for Content Adaptation

Martin Bolton 01/09/04

Mobileaware, Ltd and W3C are hosting a technical workshop on Metadata for Content Adaptation in Dublin on 12-13 October.

The goal of the workshop is to discuss issues such as:
• Difficulties in creating variable/multiple presentation XML-based documents.
• What is content metadata from device independence points of view?
• What kind of meaning should be described in content metadata?
• How does content metadata help to adapt content to make it accessible?
• Can metadata-driven adaptation overcome client/user disability?
• Notation and structure of content metadata, and how it is associated with its content.

The outcome of the workshop will help W3C's Device Independence WG to create a content metadata specification. Some time will be dedicated to describing a core set of content metadata, which will be the starting point of the Working Group's specification efforts.

Details of paper submission due by 6 September 2004, and registration by 2 October are available on the workshop web page

The workshop is being supported by the European Commission's IST Project and is limited to 50 places.
