Experimental OAI-based Digital Library Systems Workshop to be held in conjunction with:
5th European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries September 4-9 2001, Darmstadt, Germany http://www.ecdl2001.org/ Workshop Date: September 8 2001 Workshop Duration: Full-day Workshop URL : http://www.cs.odu.edu/OaiEcdlWorkshop Worshop Paper Submission Deadline: July 10, 2001 The objective of the Open Archive Initiative (OAI) is to develop a simple, lightweight framework to facilitate the discovery of content in distributed archives (http://www.openarchives.org). The focus of this workshop is to bring together researchers in the area of digital libraries who are building OAI-based systems in order to share their experiences, problems they are facing, and approaches they are taking to address them. The workshop will consist of a few invited talks from well-established researchers working in building OAI-based digital library system along with short paper presentations. Topics of Interest ------------------ We invite submissions describing experiences with OAI based system building and reporting on results on the following, non exhaustive, list of relevant topics: - OAI based data and service providers - Unified interface for searching heterogeneous libraries - Metadata mapping across different libraries - Harvesting metadata for building higher level services - Issues in harvesting multilingual digital libraries - Scalable digital library architectures - Business models for sustainable digital libraries Submission Information ---------------------- - Papers should be at most 2000 words in length. - Please submit your paper in Postscript or PDF formats. - See http://www.cs.odu.edu/OaiEcdlWorkshop for further submission information Workshop Organizers ------------------- K.
