The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, or "DCMI", is an open organization engaged in the development of interoperable metadata standards that support a broad range of purposes and business models. DCMI's activities include work on architecture and modeling, discussions and collaborative work in DCMI Communities and DCMI Task Groups, annual conferences and workshops, standards liaison, and educational efforts to promote widespread acceptance of metadata standards and practices.
You can learn more about metadata and DCMI by exploring the pages listed in the menu bar above: the Home page (this page), Metadata Basics, Specifications, Community and Events, and About Us.
