Digital Libraries and Digital Repositories: Modelling, Best Practices, and Interoperability

The European project, DL.org (Digital Library Interoperability, Best Practices and Modelling Foundations) announces its Autumn School on «Digital Libraries and Digital Repositories: Modelling, Best Practices, and Interoperability», which takes place in Athens, Greece, 3-8 October 2010.

Program

Participation in the DL.org Autumn School
(http://www.dlorg.eu/index.php/autumn-school/programme) will assist
attendees in understanding of how to address interoperability challenges
within the context of digital library and digital repositories, along
the perspectives of content, user, functionality, policy, quality and
architecture, the six core domains captured in the DELOS Digital Library
Manifesto. In addition, the DL.org Autumn School offers participants the
opportunity to network and socialise with other researchers,
international experts, and practitioners across disciplinary and national boundaries.

Audience

Our research-oriented Autumn School is designed for researchers, PhD
students and professionals engaged in the interdisciplinary DL field,
including computer scientists, librarians and information scientists.
Internationally established lecturers
(http://www.dlorg.eu/index.php/autumn-school/lecturers) will lead each
one half-day session and most will be available through the week for
further discussion.

Venue

The Autumn School will take place at the Department of Informatics and
Telecommunications of the University of Athens (NKUA), and will be
opened with a welcome evening reception on Sunday 3rd October 2010. This

exchange ideas among themselves and with the lecturers, who are expected
to stay for most of the duration of the Autumn School.
