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.
