Call for Participation

International Joint Workshop on Digital Libraries : IJWDL'98

7-9 September 1998
Asian Institute of Technology
Bangkok, Thailand

An Invitation to Participate

Digital Libraries use advanced information technologies, such as high-performance computers and networks, hypermedia, and artificial intelligence, to organize information and make it accessible to users. Social and cultural aspects, such as intellectual property rights, electronic commerce, and cultural preservation, are crucial to their success. As the largest producers and consumers of academic information, universities are crucial to their future.

Digital Libraries will be a key element of the Global Information Infrastructure for worldwide information sharing and development in the next century. Large-scale research and development projects are underway in the United States, the UK, Singapore, Germany, and many other countries. In Japan, the National Center for Academic Information Systems (NACSIS), the National Diet Library (NDL), the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA), and the Japan Information Processing Development Center (JIPDEC) have important digital library projects. The Japanese Science Council is promoting a digital library environment for research and education at universities.

This Joint Workshop will bring researchers and developers together with librarians and practitioners in an international forum on trends in Digital Libraries. The first two days (Monday and Tuesday, 7 and 8 September) will comprise School on Digital Libraries (SDL), with four tutorials on basic topics in digital libraries:
  • Computer technology and networks for Digital Libraries
  • Metadata: cataloging for the Web
  • SGML and XML
  • Overview and Management of Digital Libraries

This will be followed on Wednesday, 9 September, by the Twelfth Workshop on Digital Libraries, which will feature papers on more advanced topics from researchers in the field. This is the twelfth in a series of workshops that until now have been held at the University of Library and Information Science in Tsukuba, Japan.

As of June 1998, we expect that many librarians and practitioners from Thailand and surrounding countries will attend the tutorials. Participants in the workshop will include a number of renowned researchers from Japan, as well as colleagues from Italy and the United States. This workshop will focus on issues of multilingual information access, including metadata registry issues and information retrieval.
