ERRATA CORRIGE ON DATES: 20-21 November 2003
http://dlibcenter.iei.pi.cnr.it
This is the announcement of a course on Collabortive Digital Libraries
environments. The course, which will take place in Pisa on November
20-21, 2003 (1 + 1/2 day), is organized in the context of the Digital
Library Competence Center (IST-2001-32587), a project funded within
the FP5 of the European Community. The competence center aims at
providing specific user communities with access to advanced DL
tesbeds, services, expertise and knowledge.
Courses at the Digital Library Competence Center are addressed to
librarians, archivists, scholars and technicians, and offer direct
experience of advanced digital library testbeds. Courses are free of
charge. Registration is requested, maximum number of participants for
each course is 10.
COLLABORATIVE WORKING IN A DIGITAL LIBRARY ENVIRONMENT
The aim is to provide a theoretical and experimental background on the
methods for organizing collaborative work among people accessing
remotely to heterogeneous, multidisciplinary digital archives.
The course is centred on the CYCLADES system
(http://www.ercim.org/cyclades), which combines several technologies
from the Information Retrieval and Digital Library area, where users
and user communities deal with digital archives. CYCLADES provides a
highly personalized environment where users may organize (and search
into) the information space according to their individual taste and
use, and, more important, it also provides advanced features of
collaborative work among the users. It is up to the system to discover
interesting properties about the users' interests, the relationship
between users and user communities, as well as meaningful events that
happen in user shared workspaces, and finally to notify the involved
users according to their own preferences.
The course will teach the techniques and methodologies so that
institutions, user communities, groups of people, projects, etc. may
acquire the skill required to profitably use such advanced systems.
System documentation will be available
