ArticleDL.org Workshop: Digital Libraries & Open Access. Interoperability Strategies

DL.org is delighted to announce our next and final workshop on 4 February 2011 at the British Academy in London. The Workshop gathers together international experts on Digital Libraries and Open Access repositories (OARs), providing a forum to:

  • Trigger a multi-disciplinary debate about research on Digital Libraries and Open Access.
  • Discuss DL.org project results, and existing frameworks and best practices for interoperability within the communities of practice.
  • Propose common strategies for interoperability: start discussing how to implement a mechanism for exchanging, sharing and integrating results between DLs and OARs communities.
  • Create new connections and partnerships, and explore ways for a closer cooperation between researchers and the communities of practice.

British Academy - Workshop Setting

The Workshop addresses interoperability challenges within the context of digital libraries and open access repositories, along the perspectives of content, user, functionality, policy, quality and architecture, the six core domains captured in the DL.org Reference Model. Targeted at Library and Information Science researchers and professionals, and to the Open Access community, the event is of interest to people involved in developing interoperability frameworks or models, and people involved in the implementation of digital libraries, institutional, subject or learning object repositories, and associated services across a broad range of communities of practice.
