The European project, DL.org (Digital Library Interoperability, Best Practices and Modelling Foundations) is delighted to announce its Autumn School on “Digital Libraries and Digital Repositories: Modelling, Best Practices, and Interoperability”, which takes place in Athens, Greece, 3-8 October 2010.

Program

Participation in the DL.org Autumn School (http://www.dlorg.eu/index.php/autumn-school/programme) will assist attendees in understanding of how to address interoperability challenges within the context of digital library and digital repositories, along the perspectives of content, user, functionality, policy, quality and architecture, the six core domains captured in the DELOS Digital Library Manifesto. In addition, the DL.org Autumn School offers participants the opportunity to network and socialise with other researchers, international experts, and practitioners across disciplinary and national boundaries.

Audience

Our research-oriented Autumn School is designed for researchers, PhD students and professionals engaged in the interdisciplinary DL field, including computer scientists, librarians and information scientists. Internationally established lecturers (http://www.dlorg.eu/index.php/autumn-school/lecturers) will lead each one half-day session and most will be available through the week for further discussion.

Venue

The Autumn School will take place at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications of the
University of Athens (NKUA), and will be opened with a welcome evening reception on Sunday 3rd October 2010.

School.
