MDA Terminology Workshop
11 - 13 September 1996
Oxford, UK

This Workshop starts with the recognition that there should be a mutual
understanding of what is currently happening in the field of terminology
and progresses through the complexities of its control to a consensus on
the way forward.

Outline Programme
- accessing information across multiple platforms: vision or reality?
- practical sessions on the potential for linking diverse existing
sources
- updates on existing terminology projects
- how technology can be used to put terminology to work
- presentations from software suppliers
- results of a UK survey on terminology
- a consensus on the way ahead including a detailed action plan

Audience
The workshop will be of particular interest to those who already have
some experience or interest in terminology, from museums and galleries
of all sizes.

The workshop is intended mainly for UK museums, but if anyone is
interested, I can give them further details. I will also post
information about the survey and details of any publications as they are
produced.
