Calls for papers for 2 conferences which may be of interest to you all: 5th
European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital
Libraries in Darmstadt in September (UK people who may be known to those
working in HE are among the organisers for this one); and International
Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications 2001, in Tokyo in
October.
It comes from the US archives list and I have not asked the original poster
for permission to forward, but I hope he will not mind (this is copied to
him).

5th European Conference on Research and
Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries
September 4-8 2001, Darmstadt, Germany
http://www.ecdl2001.org
TUTORIALS : September 4 2001
CONFERENCE : September 5-7 2001
WORKSHOPS : September 8 2001
IMPORTANT DATES:
April 1, 2001 : Deadline for ALL the proposals

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.
* A track for papers on advanced applications ** NEW**
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
* Rights management, access control
* Information authentication and quality control
* Multilinguality

and is also the first event to provide conference tracks and tutorial tracks
in addition to the workshop track.
DC-2001 is soliting authors to submit their papers for presentation
and discussion. The topics may include, among others:
- Conceptual models for metadata
- Implementation of systems and tools for metadata applications
