Emma Tonkin of UKOLN will be speaking at this conference organised by the
Estonian Ministry of Culture in Tallinn on 18 October. Her presentation, entitled “Vocabulary evolution and management for the digital cultural
heritage sector” will examine current work in the metadata schema registry
sector and its relation to parallel work in vocabulary management as well as informal approaches to vocabulary development and use, such as tagging. She will go on to consider the relationship between different forms of semantic annotation and seek to provide a perspective on the overall metadata vocabulary landscape.
