Annotation: Between 1995 and 2001, DCMI held a series of workshops and meetings to discuss this need and to develop an extensible and broadly applicable standard. The perceived need was very specific, and focused on simple description for discovery purposes. By 1999, the set of 15 metadata elements was finalized and published as an RFC. The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES) became a national standard in 2001 (ANSI/NISO Z39.85) and an international standard in 2003 (ISO 15386). Shortly after the original publication of the element set, the DCMI broadened its scope to metadata practice and research, and added a peer-reviewed conference track and tutorials to its Workshop Series.
