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 > > > CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS > > PAPERS > Authors of regular papers are invited to submit original > contributions, not > exceeding 5000 words.

The > workshops will be organised during September 8th 2001. > > PANEL PROPOSALS > We solicit proposals for panels sessions related to the > conference topics. > We strongly encourage panels that have a mixture of 2 academic and 2 > practitioners/ users (plus the chair). > > TUTORIAL PROPOSALS > We solicit proposals for tutorials related to the conference > topics. The > tutorials will be organised during September 4th 2001. > Proposals should > identify the intended audience and provide a scope of what > will be covered. > > DEMONSTRATIONS AND POSTERS > The conference organisers solicit proposals for demonstrations of > innovative results, projects and products, and also for high quality > posters. A permanent space for those purposes will be > available during the > conference. The Demonstrations co-chairs can answer technical > or practical > questions beforehand. > > PROCEEDINGS > The proceedings will be published by Springer in the series > of Lecture > Notes in Computer Science > (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html).
