Žumer at cultural heritage conference

Filed under: Conferences — William Denton @ 7:12 am

Maja Žumer is speaking tomorrow at the Workshop on Ontology-Driven Interoperability for Cultural Heritage Objects in Pisa. Her talk is called “FRBR: Is This the Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship?” The description of the workshop says, “More and more people involved in the management and description of digital objects in the Cultural Heritage domain face similar problems when deciding on the most suitable metadata schema and conceptual reference framework to adopt. This workshop aims at bringing together experts in the field (both theoreticians and practitioners) to discuss what needs to be done to encourage the adoption of suitable standards that cover the current and emerging needs of the Cultural Heritage digital objects.” Only 30 people can attend so if you’re not already in Pisa and booked for it, it’s probably too late.
