Subject: Call for Papers: Special Issue of JoDI / OR 2009
Journal of Digital Information (JoDI): Special Issue on Open
Repositories
Deadline for declaring intent to submit: August 15, 2009
Deadline for submissions: September 15, 2009
Repositories are being deployed in a variety of environments
(education, research, science, cultural heritage) and contexts
(national, regional, institutional, project, lab, personal).
Regardless of setting, context or scale, repositories are
increasingly expected to operate across administrative and
disciplinary boundaries and to interact with distributed
computational services and social communities. The many repository
platforms available today are changing the nature of scholarly
communication. Institutions such as universities, research
laboratories, publishers, libraries, and commercial organizations
are creating innovative repository-based systems that address the
entire lifecycle of information-from supporting the creation and
management of digital content, to enabling use, re-use, and
interconnection of information, to ultimately ensuring long-term
preservation and archiving.
The 4th International Conference on Open Repositories (OR 2009)
brought together individuals and organizations responsible for the
conception, development, implementation and management of digital
repositories, as well as stakeholders who interact with them, to
address theoretical, practical, and strategic issues. Conference
presentations addressed issues in the following thematic areas:
Data, Repositories, and Infrastructure; Repositories in the
Organization; Interoperability and Data Networks; Services,
Interfaces, and Scholarly Communications; and, Repository Use Cases
and Case Studies.
As a presenter at OR 2009, the OR Steering Committee solicits your
contribution to this special issue of the Journal of Digital
Information (JoDI:http://journals.tdl.org/jodi). We invite expanded
papers based upon the accepted presentations in the General
Conference Sessions. Submitted papers will be peer reviewed;
accepted papers will appear in a single issue of JoDI later this year.
Please advise us of your intent to submit a paper by August 15,
2009. The deadline for submissions to this special issue of JoDI is
September 15, 2009. Please send notice of your intent to submit and
submissions to Scott Phillips: [email protected]. Please
address other questions to me at [email protected].
