We invite participants from academia, government, and industry to share ideas and experiences. The technical program for the conference consists of papers, poster presentations and panels addressing the following topics: Metadata Usage Metadata Modeling Data Mining for metadata extraction Metadata Standards Metadata for System Integration Data Stewardship Metadata issues related to the EOSDIS program Ontologies Common Metadata models for metadata The technical program and registration information can be found at: http://www.llnl.gov/liv_comp/metadata/events/ieee-md.4-96.html Tuesday 16 April 1996 ---------------------- 7:30 am - 7:30 pm Registration 8:30 am - 10:20 am Plenary session: 8:30 am - 8:40 am Welcome: Robert Coyne, Joy Colucci, Chris Miller, Ron Musick, Bhavani Thuraisingham 8:40 am - 9:10 am Opening Remarks: Diana Josephson Deputy Under Secretary National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 9:10 am - 10:20 am Featured Address: Francis Bretherton University of Wisconsin, Madison 10:20 am - 10:40 am Break 10:40 am - 12:00 pm Paper Session - I: Data Stewardship Chair: Robert Coyne, IBM Distributed Metadata Management in the High Performance Storage System D.
