Europe
Home page: http://www.malvine.org
The MALVINE project opens new and enhanced access to disparate
holdings of modern manuscripts and letters, kept and catalogued
in European libraries, archives, documentation centers and museums.
The idea of MALVINE is to build a network of these institutions
in Europe; a network which is independent of heterogeneous technical
solutions (Detailed technical information) and which is accessible
from all over the world as if being a homogenous unified database.
A multilingual user interface will be provided, using an agreed
common terminology and will offer digitized surrogates of the
precious original documents.

as part of the publication, parallel with the printed version.
The Danish Ministry of Research and Information Technology and
the Danish State Information Service have worked out a standard
describing how the publications shall be encoded. The publications
include guidelines for how to produce web publications. One recommendation
is for web publications to always have a HTML page with metadata
- human and machine-readable - even if the resource itself is
PDF. Danish Dublin Core will be used.
The Nordic Metadata Project

Te Kete Ipurangi - the Online Learning Centre
Home page: http://tki.org.nz
This national site, an initiative of New Zealand's Ministry of
Education, is being developed and managed by The
Learning Centre Trust to support the growing online education
community in New Zealand.
The current online version is phase 1 of a two phase project.
The second phase will see the site re-launch early in 2000 as
a bilingual education portal+ site which will provide visitors
with both quality-assured content and links to evaluated online
education resources. The site will continue to be developed and
expanded by the Trust over the next two years and the site invites
contributions from the New Zealand and global education communities.
The Trust is currently in the process of developing a National
Education Standard which will define a Dublin Core education set
and an education metadata set for TKI. The Trust hopes that this
will be developed in collaboration with the Department of Education,
Victoria, Australia so that an Australasian set can be explored.
The Trust plans to make available to authors of other New Zealand
education sites, tools which will assist them to apply the agreed
Education Standards to the content they produce.
For more information about this project, contact the Project Director, Jill
Wilson at jill@tki.org.nz.

Foundations Project
Home page: http://bridges.state.mn.us/
The Foundations Project is a State of Minnesota multi-agency
collaborative project aimed at improving public access to environmental
and natural resources data and information. The focus of the Project
is on developing intuitive and easy to use search tools and strategies.
Staff and agency participants catalog many kinds of electronic
information resources using qualified Dublin Core elements. These
resources can be used to develop advanced search and retrieval
techniques that integrate access to this information across agency
Web sites. The search interface is called Bridges (http://bridges.state.mn.us/),
signifying the metaphorical spanning of information across Minnesota
state agencies. Based on project research findings and using principles
of information architecture, a "blueprint" specifying
best practices for Minnesota state environmental Web sites is
being created. As the Foundations Project nears completion, efforts
are in place to bring the successes and blueprint to the remaining
state agencies.

of abstracts distributed over many web sites. Each abstract
contains DC metadata, either created by authors, via a form,
or by librarians, via automatic transformation of database records.
General information about the project (in French) can be found
athttp://www-mathdoc.ujf-grenoble.fr/math-prepub/.The index can be directly queried at http://www.mathdoc.ujf-grenoble.fr/prepub.html.
MPRESS/MathNet
Home page: http://MathNet.preprints.org
MPRESS is an index which has, currently, about 35,000 mathematical
preprints. The standard way for authors to contribute: create
DC Metadata using form interfaces. The documents themselves reside
on more than 100 distributed hosts. The service allows for browsing
along Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) and authors' list
and searching the Metadata of the documents. It leads the user
to the (full text) resource on the originating site. Problems
of heterogeneity between different interpretations of DC are reduced
using filters during the import of data into the index.

standard for Australian governments and was endorsed for use
by all levels of government in Australia in November 1998. AGLS
is a qualified metadata standard based on Dublin Core, and consists
of 19 elements - the 15 DC elements plus an additional four
that were considered necessary in the Australian government
context. AGLS goes beyond DC in being aimed at resource discovery
and retrieval and was developed from the outset with the intention
that it would be used to describe both online and off-line government
resources.

encourages any initiative which seeks to implement standard
metadata schemas such as the Dublin Core.
