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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | David Dawson | | Outreach Manager | | Museum Documentation Association | | 67 Spring Street | Main Office:- | Chipping Norton | 347 Cherry Hinton Road | Oxfordshire | Cambridge CB1 4DH UK | OX7 5NN | tel: (+44) 1223 518126 | tel 01698 655576 | fax: (+44) 1223 213575 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - find out more about MDA at http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/archive/other/museums/mda/
