DL.org Networking Session @ ICT2010

Networking Session on Global Information Structures for Science & Cultural heritage: The Interoperability Challenge, Wednesday 29 September 2010 at ICT2010, Brussels, Belgium. DL.org has forged an alliance with two European projects: DC-Net (Digital Cultural Heritage NETwork) and  GRDI2020 (Towards a 10-Year Vision for Global Research Data Infrastructures) with the aim of delivering insights into the challenges and approaches surrounding interoperability, which plays a key role in the EC's Digital Agenda for Europe.

The Session is designed to offer a forum for developers, programme owners, researchers and implementers across diverse application domains, scientific data infrastructures, cultural heritage infrastructures and Digital Libraries to share knowledge and formulate guidelines  to address the interoperability challenge. The session delivers insights into new research perspectives for Digital Library and information infrastructure interoperability emerging from the findings of the host projects, as well as policy & investment priorities for Europe’s Digital Agenda. It is particularly relevant to the Cooperation & Capacities pillars of FP7, regarding the Thematic Priority of Digital Libraries and e-Infrastructures as a crucial asset underpinning EU research and innovation policies.
