*******************************************************************************





Max Planck Digital Library and FIZ Karlsruhe cordially invite you to participate in 

the eSciDoc Days 2011 to be held on Wednesday, October 26, and Thursday, October 27, 

at Tagungsstaette Harnack-House in Berlin, Germany.



eSciDoc, the open source eResearch environment, provides you with applications and 

services, based on a shared infrastructure maintaining your data, metadata, relations, 

and access rights.



For the fourth time the eSciDoc Days will bring together experts with different 

background in scientific and scholarly information management: researchers and 

information professionals as well as chief information officers and software 

developers. The two day conference will provide extensive information about 

collaborative eResearch environments and related challenges, among them the 

sustainable management of a growing amount of data along the research process 

and the provision of a publishing environment for research results together with

research data.



To foster knowledge exchange between disciplines on current topics, this year’s

conference introduces two sessions to overview general developments in “Information

Infrastructure Projects” and “Research Data Management”.



Current usage scenarios of eSciDoc are presented in detail. Presentations held by 

eSciDoc team members and eSciDoc users will demonstrate the existing eSciDoc 

Applications and the underlying eSciDoc Infrastructure as well as its future 

directions. Additionally, a whole day of hands-on tutorials is offered especially for 

developers who are interested in implementing their own applications based on the 

eSciDoc Infrastructure, or who intend to adapt existing eSciDoc Applications for 

their individual usage scenario.



Program and speakers will be announced soon.

About the Max Planck Digital Library

 

The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) is a scientific service unit within the 

Max Planck Society (MPS), established in January 2007. The MPDL provides 

services to help MPS researchers manage their scientific information 

workflow. Such services comprise the provision of actual content and of 

technical solutions, but also the support to users by acting as a centre of 

competence and a community facilitator in the domain of scientific information 

management. This is achieved through close collaboration with the Max Planck 

Institutes and their libraries. The core activities of the MPDL lie in building 

up infrastructures and tools for publications and research data. A substantial 

task of the MPDL is to provide most effective access to scientific information 

and fostering the Open Access policy of the Max Planck Society.
