Conference to the OAI meetings at CERN in Geneva, and to the Nordic Scholarly
Communication Conferences, and is aimed at Librarians, University
Administrators, funders, academics and technical specialists.<BR><BR>This
should be an excellent conference with many of the key figures in European
repository development speaking or attending. It offers a great opportunity
for networking and for exchanging ideas, comparing work and keeping up to
speed with the latest developments from across Europe.<BR><BR>Details of
registration are available at:<BR><BR><A

are also delighted that a fourth tutorial on the "EPrints Application Profile"
will be available in the Tutorials session on Wednesday, 18th of
October.<BR><BR>This tutorial, run by Julie Allinson (UKOLN, University of
Bath) and Andy Powell (Eduserv Foundation) offers an introduction to the
Eprints Application Profile, a Dublin Core metadata profile developed to
facilitate the creation and sharing of a richer set of metadata for describing
scholarly works (eprints) than currently offered by simple Dublin Core.
The Profile makes use of the Dublin Core Abstract Model and FRBR to group
together descriptions of different expressions of a work.<BR><BR>The
application profile has been developed with funding from JISC and is hoped to
form the basis for the UK eprint search engine currently being developed by
Intute. The tutorial will be of use to anybody with an interest in
metadata, particularly the metadata used to describe scholarly works in
institutional, and other, repositories. Those for whom this tutorial may
be of special interest include repository managers or administrators;
developers or implementers of repository software; librarians; and developers
of aggregator services. Those interested in implementing the Eprints
Application Profile in their own repository are particularly encouraged to
attend.<BR><BR>The updated programme for the conference is available
