What is the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative?
The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) is an open forum engaged in the development of interoperable online metadata standards that support a broad range of purposes and business models. DCMI’s activities include consensus-driven working groups, global workshops, conferences, standards liaison, and educational efforts to promote widespread acceptance of metadata standards and practices. For more information, see http://dublincore.org/.
The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) is an organization dedicated to fostering the widespread adoption of interoperable metadata standards and promoting the development of specialized metadata vocabularies for describing resources to enable more intelligent resource discovery systems. The first Dublin Core Series Workshop took place in Dublin, Ohio in 1995. Since that time, the DCMI has been committed to the continual refinement of a “core” foundation of property types and values to provide vertically specific (semantic)information about Web resources, much in the same way a library card catalog provide indexes of book properties.

The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) is an organization dedicated to promoting the widespread adoption of interoperable metadata standards (See Q&A: What is a metadata standard?) and developing specialized metadata vocabularies for describing resources that enable more intelligent information discovery systems. The mission of the DCMI is to make it easier to find information/data etc (resources) using the Internet through the following activities (1) developing metadata standards for discovery across domains, (2) defining frameworks for the interoperation of metadata sets, and, (3) facilitating the development of community- or disciplinary-specific metadata sets that are consistent with (1) and (2). The range of activities of DCMI includes: Standards development and maintenance Tools, services, and infrastructure, including the DCMI metadata registry to support the management and maintenance of DCMI metadata in multiple languages.
