Within this perspective, researchers working in the area need to further develop and integrate a broad range of methods, results, and solutions coming from different areas. MTSR has been designed as a forum allowing researchers to present and discuss specialized results as general contributions to the field. This volume collects the papers selected for presentation at the 4th International Conference on Metadata and Semantic Research (MTSR 2010), held in Alcala de Henares––a world heritage city and birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes––at the University of Alcala (October 20–22, 2010). The first MTSR conference was held online in 2005, followed by two more editions: in Corfu (2007) and in Milan (2009). The experience acquired during the past five years, and the warm welcome of MTSR by the research community, encouraged us to organize this new edition of the series, and turn it into a yearly event. According to the number and quality of the contributions submitted for revision, our 2010 effort was again a considerable success. This edition counted on the contribution of three invited speakers: Juliá Minguillon from the Open University of Catalonia, Spain; Christian Stracke from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany; and Ferdinando Villa, from the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics, USA and the Basque Centre for Climate Change, Spain;. Juliá Minguillon demonstrated how social information tags can be used to discover hidden semantics that may improve descriptions of learning objects and thus help us to better understand the real needs of people searching for open educational resources. Christian Stracke discussed the benefits and future of standards, and presented the generic multi-dimensional reference model, while Villa presented a new theoretical synthesis and a knowledge modeling formalism enabling multiple-scale, multiple- paradigm, and modular modeling, demonstrating its application to real environments by modeling a Web-accessible decision support system. Thanks to the three of them for their talent and good disposition. We would like to thank the authors for submitting their work, as well as the Program Committee members and reviewers for their enthusiasm, time and expertise. The help of the Organizing Committee members of the previous edition––Fabio Sartori in particular––was highly appreciated. Special thanks to Miguel A. Sicilia and Raquel Rebollo for managing the online submission system and preparing the camera- ready version of the proceedings. Last, but not least, our gratitude to the local organizers for making MTSR 2010 a success. August 2010 Salvador Sánchez-Alonso Ioannis N.
