CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Workshop on "Digital Libraries Foundations"
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, June 23, 2007
In conjunction with ACM IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries
(JCDL 2007)
Workshop web page: http://www.delos.info/DLF1
Workshop Objectives
-------------------
Research on "digital libraries" addresses many different areas. The
lack of any agreement on the foundations for this broad research field
has led to a plethora of models, systems, and results that are difficult
to combine and reuse to produce enhanced outcomes. This workshop will
bring together researchers involved in laying the foundations for the
digital library research field. In particular, it will make it possible
for them to discuss and explore their solutions in the context of a
Reference Model for Digital Libraries.
This workshop will help in laying the foundations for digital libraries
as a whole. It will engage the international digital library community
in producing a reference framework wherein new results can be integrated,
compared, and discussed - leveraging prior work on the definition of a
Reference Model for Digital Libraries launched by the EU DELOS Network
of Excellence on Digital Libraries ( http://www.delos.info/ReferenceModel).
That effort began in Europe, but has expanded with the invitation of
international collaborators. This workshop will be the first open meeting
to broaden the effort even further. Our aim is to draw upon the
understanding acquired by a number of research groups active in the
digital library field. This workshop intends to extend the participation
in this activity to all researchers interested in the modeling of digital
library aspects, in order to contribute to the understanding of key
concepts in this field. It will take a full day, on 23 June 2007, and
will include not only short paper presentations, but also other modes
of communication, such as invited presentations, breakout groups, panels,
discussant commentaries, and posters.
Topics
------
The workshop focuses on the modeling of three of the main aspects
characterizing the Digital Library universe: Content, Architecture,
and Quality. For each of these aspects the workshop participants will
be asked to outline the specific and unique modeling and research
challenges, and to identify some of the most promising candidate
solutions to address those challenges.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- (Semi-)Formal Models for Digital Libraries
- Theoretical Foundations of Digital Libraries
- Information Object Models
- Metadata Models
- Resource Models
- Reference Architectures for Digital Library Systems
- Digital Library and Digital Library System Quality Models
- Cross-cutting issues, such as Policies or
Users/Librarians/Communities/Social Networks
Paper Submission and Publication
--------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers.
Submitted manuscripts will be limited to 6 two-column pages, following
ACM format guidelines and using the ACM template
( http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html).
Preferred formats are PDF or Microsoft Word. Papers should be submitted
electronically via email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Papers submitted to the
workshop will undergo a peer-review process. Accepted papers will be
published in the DELOS workshop proceedings that also will be made
available in the DELOS digital library. At least one author is required
to attend the conference and present the paper. Depending upon the quantity
and quality of the submissions, efforts to coordinate follow-on publications
may be made, involving extended versions of some of the accepted papers.
