Catalogers Discussion Group
(affiliated with ARLIS/NY)
New York City
November 2002

The next meeting will be held on Monday, November 18 from 3-5 pm at the MoMA Factory. Directions to follow in a couple of weeks.

For discussion,

1. Metro workshop on Metadata, Dublin Core and XML from Oct. 7.

Questions that may come up:

• What are limitations of metadata?
• How is it useful?
• In time XML will give way to something else for use with metadata. Will it ever stabilize so data doesn't have to be re-coded for each new standard?
• Will there ever be just one standard?

You probably visited these pages already over time, or ones like them:
