Abstract
Metadata vocabularies, which can be regarded as manifestations
of ontologies, provide the critical semantics required for
automated information processing. Their representation in a
machine processible format is key to the realisation of the SemanticWeb.
However for systems to communicate in an open
and meaningful manner requires some level of agreement on
the concepts and terms to be used. We describe the work of
the SCHEMAS project in promoting ontology convergence
within domains. One major means of achieving this objective
was the development of a knowledge base for metadata
vocabularies, also known as a metadata registry.
