In presenting the day's activities, the Co-Chairs emphasized that all participants were required to take part in following three tasks during the course of the day: 1. thinking, 2. dialoging, and 3. working. The workshop plan stressed that participants should take advantage of the workshop's time and venue to think deeply about metadata applications, and the connection between users and developers. Participants were encouraged to think about the interconnections among all constituents of metadata, such as standards creators, metadata creators, and metadata consumers. Participants were also encouraged to ask questions of the presenters; and they were asked to dialog during breaks, lunch, and the breakout session in order to share and learn from colleagues about metadata challenges and solutions. In setting the stage, time was allocated to the concept of metadata tools, and the reality that this phrase and conception refers to an extremely wide and diverse range of applications. The workshop centered primarily, although not exclusively, on applications focusing on descriptive metadata, rather than on KOS (Knowledge Organization Systems) or semantic metadata independently, such as thesauri or ontologies.
