The workshop entitled “Policy and Quality Interoperability: an organisational approach for digital archives and digital libraries”, which was spearheaded by Dr Perla Innocenti and Dr Giuseppina Vullo, both from the University of Glasgow, and Professor Seamus Ross, Dean of the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto, was successfully held on 29th April 2010 within the 8th European Conference on Digital Archiving (ECA 2010, 28-30 April 2010, Geneva, Switzerland, http://www.ica.org/en/2010/04/28/8th-european-conference-digital-archiving-geneva-2010).

The workshop was led by Dr Giuseppina Vullo (pictured left), who presented the DL.org research and activities towards policy and quality interoperability. The audience actively and fruitfully interacted on the key issues being addressed by the DL.org Policy Working Group and DL.org Quality Working Group, spanning the main challenges affecting digital libraries on policy and quality interoperability, to cross-domain user scenarios.

Another success factor was participation in the policy and quality interoperability survey targeting international digital libraries and archives on the part of several attendees.
