AT4DL 2009
Call for Papers
Aim
The fast growth of digital material is challenging for research in many disciplines. The EU has funded many projects to advance research in this field and facilitate end-user access to cultural and scientific heritage. The ENRICH, Europeana, CACAO, GAMA, NEEO and TELplus projects, funded by the eContentplus programme, call 2006, have joined forces to organise a workshop as a satellite event of ICSD 2009.
The workshop aims to bring together stakeholders in order to present an overview of state-of-the-art systems in the field and identify open research problems that require further work.
Call for Papers ^
We invite submissions of extended abstracts describing running projects in the field of Digital Libraries. Research projects of any size are welcome, ranging from EU to PhD projects.
