The Metadata Symposium on Nov the 29th was a great success. More than 170 people have registered for the event in advance. The speakers from different backgrounds, opened up truly interdisciplinary discussions on philosophy, computer science, arts and humanities. Many participants continued the discussions at the reception after the day long event. The importance of metadata research is agreed as well as the exploration of its possibilities in the future development, especially under an interdisciplinary framework.
