It's not quite the same as sunny Crete, but the conference this year was
interesting and formed a useful European meeting point for issues like
subject gateways, metadata discussions etc. Dates for your diaries?

After Pisa in 1997 and Heraklion in 1998, ECDL will take place in
Paris at the prestigious location of the Bibliotheque Nationale de
France. It is the third of a series of European conferences on
research and technology for digital libraries. It is partially funded
by the European Commission's TMR Programme and ERCIM (the European
Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics).
Its main objective is to bring together researchers from multiple
disciplines to present their work on enabling technologies for digital
libraries. The conference also provides an opportunity for scientists
to develop a research community in Europe focusing on digital library
development.
The conference organisers solicit papers, panels and tutorials on
novel research on digital libraries, including but not limited to the
following list of topics:
* Digital library models, frameworks, architectures
* System Integration, interoperability, and scalability issues
* Information retrieval, navigation and indexing
* Multimedia information management, digitization (image, graphic,
video, sound)
* Electronic authoring, publishing, multilinguality
* Metadata, knowledge representation, agent technologies
* Information economies and business models for digital libraries
(pricing, etc.)
* Experiments in DL system development, user interfaces and evaluation
PAPER, tutorials, panel, demo soumissions are due 1 April 1999.
Program Chair: Serge Abiteboul, INRIA.
The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag. Some papers
will be selected to appear in the International Journal on Digital
Libraries.
