________________________________________________________________________________
- Objectives
This conference is the second of a series of European conferences on research
and technology for digital libraries funded by the European Commission's TMR
Programme. Its objectives are: to bring together researchers from multiple
disciplines whose science relates to the development of digital libraries;
to provide an opportunity for these scientists to form a research community
in Europe specific to digital library development and to enable them to discuss
issues and strategies specific to the European context; to assist young
researchers in establishing relationships with senior scientists in their areas
of interest; to enable review and discussion of research under way in Europe,
the US, Japan and other countries on digital libraries; to stimulate
researchers, especially young scientists, to explore new areas of interest in
digital library development; to establish a forum for discussion of issues
specific to Europe such as interoperability, multilinguality, intellectual
property policy, and information commerce; to provide an opportunity for
researchers in the relevant enabling technologies and information sciences,
to discuss issues related to interoperability between world wide distributed
digital libraries.
>>From a technical point of view, the European Conferences series aims to
contribute to the definition of those digital library parameters which
especially influence issues of access, retrieval, and interaction with
information; to identify key problems which must be solved to make digital
library services an effective reality; to identify a general structure or
framework for integrating research and solutions; and to propose and encourage
specific, high priority research directions within such a framework.
