CALL FOR PAPERS
Digital libraries, in the central view of the term, focus on storing and organizing digital objects and providing access to these objects through professional or user-generated metadata or content-based search (full text, image content, full musical score). In an expanded view, DLs also support annotation, generation or editing of digital objects and provide tools for processing digital objects. The semantic Web focuses on the formal representation of data for more precise retrieval and, more importantly, for reasoning so that many often disparate items of data can be combined to directly answer a user's question or to devise a plan of action. ICDLSW addresses two main questions:
(1) How can digital libraries support Semantic Web functionality?
(2) How can Semantic Web technology improve digital libraries?
Ultimately the goal is an environment in which all functionality is available to the user without the perception of different systems or system boundaries. Contributions are sought that address one or both of the main questions or steps towards the ultimate system.
SPECIFIC TOPICS that address one or both of the main questions can be found at: http://www.icsd-conference.org/node/20.
FULL CALL FOR PAPERS available at: http://www.icsd-conference.org/node/1.
The conference will explore the area of digital libraries and the semantic web through tutorials, workshops, demonstrations, invited talks and presentations. The conference will also serve as a working platform for communities to discuss and agree on joint work. We also encourage the submission of WORKSHOP proposals for this purpose.
