DC-2009 will focus on linked data and the enabling of the Semantic Web.

Conference participants will explore the conceptual and practical issues in breaking the constraints of data silos and connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge.

Metadata is a key to these processes supporting publishing and interlinking structured data on the Semantic Web.

The basic assumption behind the concept of linked data is that the value and usefulness of data increases the more it is interlinked with other data.

There is a growing interest in the metadata community in connecting existing and future data contained in silos within and across organizations in a meaningful way that supports extraction and correlation of the data. The linking of data from disparate data silos presents technical and social challenges that will be explored at DC-2009 through full papers, project reports, posters, special sessions and workshops.
