"The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative is an open organization engaged in the development of interoperable online 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 ..."
We've referenced the "Dublin Core Metadata Initiative" in a number of our previous posts as one possible way to help "tie all the information" together on Long Island (Long Island Metadata Portal etc.).
It seems to be a good fit for our "One Long Island" project in that it has a track record of success and is based upon an open architecture.
The key to "bringing Long Island together" is not through mandates, but rather, as we've stated before, through collaboration and flexibility.
A sort of "make it available and easy to participate it and they will participate" approach.
It looks as though Dublin Core can help us achieve the type of large scale data coordination we are projecting in "One Long Island."
We'll follow up to verify.
Also, here's a nice site explaining Web 3.0 (LI 3.0).
