Interest in Dublin Core metadata has grown from a small collection of pioneering projects to adoption by governments and international organ- izations worldwide. The scope of interest and investment in metadata is broader still, however, and finding coherence in this rapidly growing area is challenging. The theme of DC-2002 — supporting diversity and convergence — acknowledges these changes.
