Digital Repositories and Field-Specific Digital Libraries: Opportunities and Challenges

16 Jun 2011, 13:30 → 17 Jun 2011, 12:25 America/New_York

JCDL2011/Ottawa/Canada

A workshop at JCDL2011.

The workshop will be of interest to anyone running or planning a disciplinary repository (DR), and anyone interested in data mining disciplinary repository corpora.It will share "secrets for success"; allow discussions of technology, services, interoperability, and the engagement of users; and foster communication within the disciplinary repository community. We call for proposals for short or lightening presentations on all aspects of disciplinary repositories and field-specific digital libraries. Topics include:

• DR architecture, infrastructure and maintenance
• Social aspects: populating and growing DRs
• Sustainability through open access, proprietary access and hybrid models
• User interaction, interface design and usability
• Value-added and innovative services
• Interaction and integration with IRs, other DRs and proprietary systems
• DR as research corpus and platform for experiments

Registration for this workshop and the rest of JCDL 2011 is now open on the JCDL website.

Workshop chairs:
C. Lee Giles (Pennsylvania State University),
Salvatore Mele (CERN),
Simeon Warner (Cornell)
