brought together nine tool developers and their intended user communities
together. These tools were developed to expedite metadata creation or
editing. They were selected for the forum because they could be used by
multiple institutions and relied on commonly available software most
institutions would already have in-house or based on open source components.
Most of the forum focused on the tool developers showcasing their work which
people could attend as their interests led them. One metric of the
forum’s success: Almost all attendees saw at least one tool that could be
used in their own environments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
