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.
