ICADL2019 and MAGIC Workshop

Our project will be present at the MAGIC workshop in conjunction with the ICADL2019 conference in Kuala Lumpur.

Metadata covers broad range of information – from descriptions about a content to a vocabulary to organize MAG resources, and from metadata creation to search and access.
