Fourth Workshop on Very Large Digital Libraries, Berlin, Germany
29 September 2011 - 29 September 2011
Germany
The Fourth Workshop on Very Large Digital Libraries will take place on 29 September 2011 in Berlin, Germany.
With information more accessible than ever, digital libraries are capable of effectively serving broad and challenging scenarios. Information seekers are willing to have immediate and effective access to human knowledge that - differently from the past - very often is produced and disseminated through heterogeneous sources.
Such scenarios call for the development of very large digital libraries (VLDLs). These can be considered to be 'very large' with respect to the number and type of information objects and collections to be made available, the number of users to be served, the number of interoperability issues to be resolved, the number of systems to be federated, or the number of heterogeneities to be reconciled.
The event will focus on the problems emerging from the marriage of 'very-large' digital libraries and data archives, in an attempt to manage, combine and interlink datasets with publications. Such problems include metadata definition, annotations, search, preservation, provenance, metadata aggregation, among others.For further information, please visit: http://www.delos.info/vldl2011(opens in new window)
