DEADLINE EXTENSION Paper Submission: 30 June 2010

=== Call for Papers - 2nd DL.org Workshop ===

Making Digital Libraries Interoperable, 9-10 September 2010, during the

14th European Conference on Digital Libraries (ECDL2010)
Glasgow, Scotland, UK

http://www.dlorg.eu/index.php/dl-org-events/2nd-dl-org-workshop

== Workshop Theme ==
The central theme of the 2nd DL.org Workshop will be “Digital Library Interoperability”. 
Interoperability is a multi-layered and very context-specific concept. It encompasses 
different levels along a multidimensional spectrum. The Workshop will address this 
difficult problem from several perspectives: content, user, functionality, policy, 
quality, and architecture. Many of the above facets include open research issues. This 
Workshop will highlight the several dimensions of the problem and indicate new research 
directions.

== Paper Submission ==
We are soliciting two types of contributions: Research Papers and Project Papers.

Research Papers
Authors are invited to submit original research papers addressing current approaches and 
new research directions for  tackling the multi-faceted digital library interoperability 
issues.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical Foundations of Interoperability in Digital Library
- Emerging interoperability issues
- Standard-based approaches toward interoperability
- Technologies promoting interoperability
- Mediator-based approaches toward interoperability
- Concrete implementations and exploitations of interoperability solution
- Evaluation of interoperability approaches and solutions
- Interoperability Models
- Ontology driven interoperability
- Metadata interoperability
- Interoperability levels
Research papers will have a full-length  oral presentation and will be published in a 
high-quality proceedings volume. Each submitted paper must not exceed 10 pages in total.

Project Papers
Authors are invited to submit papers focusing on DL interoperability approaches and 
solutions adopted and lessons learned when implementing interoperable DL systems in the 
context of European, international and national projects.
These papers will have a short oral presentation and will be included in the “Project 
Papers” section of the Workshop  proceedings. Each submitted paper must not exceed 8 pages 
in total.

== Formatting ==
All contributions must be written in English. They must follow the formatting guidelines 
of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS - 
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0) and submitted via the 
workshop submission system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dlorg2010).

== Workshop Reviewing Process ==
The reviewing process will be carried out by the members of the Workshop International 
Programme Committee. Two referees will review each paper.
