DELOS Conference on Digital Libraries - 13-14 February 2007, Pisa, Italy
13 February 2007 - 14 February 2007
Austria
DELOS is partially funded by the European Commission's Information Society Technologies Programme (IST). The main objective of DELOS is to coordinate a joint programme of activities of the major European teams working in digital library related areas.
The DELOS research activities are organized around the following themes:
Reference Model for Digital Library Systems
Digital Library System Architectures
Information Access to Digital Libraries
Audio/Visual Digital Libraries
Semantic Interoperability in Digital Libraries
User Interfaces for Digital Libraries
Digital Library Visualization
Personalization in Digital Libraries
Digital Library Curation and Preservation
Digital Repositories
Digital Library Evaluation Methodologies
Digital Library Evaluation Infrastructures.
During the conference and in satellite meetings there will be ample space for both formal and informal meetings and "Birds of a Feather" sessions. A workshop on Ontology-driven interoperability will be held on February 15th, and meetings on a Digital Library Reference Model, Peer to Per Architecture for Digital Libraries, Complex Similarity Measure
and Personalized Information Access will also be planned.
DELOS has established a number of collaborative links with other projects and initiatives funded by the European Commission, such as BRICKS, DILIGENT, EPOCH, MICHAEL, MUSCLE, TEL. A special session to discuss how those links can be continued in the future will also take place.
The DELOS vision is that Digital Libraries will become the universal knowledge repositories and communication conduits for the future, common vehicles by which everyone will access, analyze, evaluate, enhance, and exchange all forms of information. They will be accessible at any time and from anywhere, and will offer a friendly, multi-modal, efficient, and effective interaction and exploration environment.
Attendance to the conference is free, but advance registration is required.
Please register at the Conference web site before January 31st, 2007.
