Digital Libraries are a critical component of the emerging
``distributed knowledge environments'' that will provide people
with universal access to virtually all areas of human knowledge,
with the concomitant hope of improving standards of health,
education , and economic well-being as well as the quality of
life. As such, the field of digital library research and
technology encompasses information creation, acquisition, access,
distribution, evaluation and processing. Major applications of
digital library research and technology include education,
science, commerce, medicine, and the arts.
The goal of this conference is to share and disseminate
information about important current issues concerning digital
library research and technology. This goal will be achieved by
means of research papers, invited talks, workshops, and panels
involving leading experts, as well as through demonstrations of
innovative and prototype technologies. The conference has the
additional goal of indicating the importance of applications of
digital library technologies in the public and private sectors of
the economy.
Papers are solicited describing technical advances in ALL areas
of digital library technology, including, but not limited to the
areas of:
Agent Technology
Authoring and Scripting
Collaborative Research
Datamining
Digital Library Testbed Systems
Document Models
Economic Issues and Billing Mechanisms
Human-Computer Interaction
Intellectual Property
Knowledge Representation
Knowledge Integration
Meta-information
Publishing
Searching and Browsing
Semantic and Systems Interoperability
Resource Discovery and Management
Standards and Protocols
Telecommunications and Networking
Transition from Traditional Libraries
User Workspaces
In particular, ADL '98 will focus on novel applications and
associated issues in the areas of:
Arts and Humanities
Integrating Digital Technology into Traditional Libraries
Socio-Economic Impacts
Geospatial Information
Medical Application
Social and Natural Sciences
