[ANN:] presentation on PRISM metadata spec

Hi all,

Those of you in the Bay area (San Francisco, not Tampa, Biscay, ...)
may be interested to know that there will be a public presentation
on the PRISM metadata specification next week. Date is Thursday,
June 14, at 1:30 PM. Place is at Interwoven's headquarters,
1195 W. Fremont Ave., Sunnyvale CA. A map and directions are
available from http://www.interwoven.com/company/directions-hq.html.

PRISM is a metadata specification originally intended for use
in the magazine industry, where production, repurposing,
aggregation, syndication, and archiving are topics of interest.
Its utility extends beyond that industry, to any organization
that needs to develop such functionality. Rather than reinvent
the wheel, PRISM recommends certain practices, such as the use
of XML, namespaces, RDF, and the Dublin Core. It then defines
a few extra namespaces for more specific information. The 1.0
version of the specification is available from
www.prismstandard.org.

Interwoven, and several of our partners, have already announced
support of the PRISM spec. Other vendors, and content providers
such as Time Inc. and Getty Images, have too. Hope to see you
there to talk about why.

Regards,

Ron Daniel Jr.
Standards Architect
