> ECDL is the 5th in the annual European Digital Libraries
> conferences. This
> gives a good opportunity to review the impact Digital
> Libraries have on
> science, technology, and society in general. In this perspective the
> conference will emphasise applications of Digital Library
> systems and their
> integration in the user communities. Future perspectives, such as the
> convergence of libraries, museums, and archives into
> Collective Memories,
> will be discussed.
>
> The scientific program includes:
> * Submitted scientific papers, including short papers and
> submitted poster
> presentations.
> * Presentations of prototypes, operational systems, and
> associated use
> experiences.
> * Invited papers and panel discussions.
>
>
> THE FOCUS OF ECDL 2001:
>
> LIBRARIES; MUSEUMS; ARCHIVES - convergence in the digital world?
> This focus will explore the on-going convergence of
> libraries, archives,
> and museums into integrated digital information spaces on
> science, art, and
> history. Contributions may discuss:
> * How to organise these spaces and how to help people to find
> their way in
> them.
> * The chances and limitations of blurring the roles of people
> involved -
> are they visitors, users, librarians, archivists, researchers?
> * The roles of real artefacts and of their digital counterparts. Will
> digital images replace or enhance physical objects?
>
> COLLABORATION IN INFORMATION SPACES.
> Future forms of collaboration in information spaces can be
> discussed under
> various scenarios:
> * Scientific research on and annotation of rare and fragile
> objects can be
> combined with the curiosity of interested lay persons.
> * Digital objects allow "hands on" experience that is not
> possible with the
> real artefacts.
> * Diverse interpretations and views now spread over various
> publications
> can be documented and brought together.
>
> COLLECTIVE MEMORY - A global institution?
> Global availability of digital Collective Memories makes the physical
> location of Libraries, Museums, and Archives less important.
> However, the
> local and regional idiosyncrasies of users will adapt only
> slowly to a
> global view - especially when Collective Memories go beyond
> the domains of
> science and large organisations. As a European conference,
> ECDL 2001 must
> pay close attention to these aspects of globalisation with regard to
> multilinguality, preservation of the diverse cultural
> heritage, traditions,
> views, and approaches.
>
> In those three areas scientific papers are called for
> especially in, but
> not restricted to:
> * Applications in science, technology, and society
> * Integration in user communities
> * User interfaces, user models
> * Technologies supporting knowledge management
> * Information and knowledge environments
> * Collaboration in information spaces
> * Information retrieval, filtering, personalisation, and enrichment
> * Multimedia digital libraries
> * Digitalisation and annotation of real world artefacts
> * Data models, metadata models, ontologies
>
