Workshop organizer: Ronald Larsen, University of Pittsburgh
Date: Thursday, August 21, 9.00 - 18.00
Aims and themes: This workshop will continue an international dialogue on metrics, testbeds, and processes for digital library evaluation that has been coordinated by the National Science Foundation in the US, and the DELOS Network of Excellence for Digital Libraries in the EU. Three classes of individuals are encouraged to participate: (1) researchers and practitioners conducting developmental work leading to new metrics and evaluation techniques, or the evaluation of old metrics and measurement techniques, (2) researchers and practitioners who can report on case studies of evaluation of digital libraries, and (3) individuals interested in understanding the current issues in digital library evaluation. The workshop is not a tutorial, however, and will assume a basic understanding of digital libraries and the tools and techniques appropriate for their evaluation.

Aims and themes: The Workshop is based around the theme of emerging standards in Networked Knowledge Organization Systems and Services. The full-day workshop aims to provide an overview of projects, research and development related to the usage of knowledge organization systems in Internet based services and digital libraries. We also aim to provide a basis for participation in global efforts such as the NKOS network.

Date: Thursday, August 21, 9.00 - 18.00
Aims and themes: The objective of this workshop is to provide an
informal forum for researchers from academia, industry and health care
institutions to present their work on digital libraries in healthcare, share
their experience and discuss mutual technical and user-centred interests in
order to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial and real-world
project needs.
Academic researchers can often provide technically brilliant solutions to
theoretical problems with no applicability to the real-world systems. Real-world
health care project decision makers are not involved in cutting-edge research to
see how new inventions could serve the needs of real projects. User-centred
research should bridge this gap but the application of this within the
healthcare domain has been limited. This workshop is aiming to bridge this gap
by providing digital library researchers an opportunity to discuss and
collaborate with colleagues working on real-world healthcare projects. In
particular, it will focus on information management in health-care digital
libraries, health care information provision on the Internet, searching and Web
crawling, personalization aspects and end-user evaluation and needs for
information in digital libraries.
The presentations are not expected to be directly related to existing healthcare
applications but should address technical or implementation issues that need to
be solved in real health care systems. By attracting researchers and decision
makers from academia, industry and health care institutions, this workshop will
be a unique event providing a forum for sharing both technical user-centred
interests enabling post-workshop collaboration.

Aims and themes: ECDL Workshops on Web Archiving are held in association with the European Conferences on Digital Libraries (ECDL) since 2001. The aim of these Workshops is to bring together researchers, practitioners, graduate students, and IT developers with expertise and interest in building Web archives. These workshops provide a forum for interaction among librarians, archivists, academic researchers and industrial researchers interested in establishing effective methods and developing improved solution for Web archiving.

Aims and themes: The Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) organises a series of annual evaluation campaigns to test information retrieval systems operating on European languages in both monolingual and cross-language contexts. The aim of the Workshop will be to present and discuss the results of the CLEF 2003 evaluation campaign and allow researchers and developers to compare performance between systems using different approaches and strategies.
Intended audience: Please note that attendance at the Workshop is on invitation only and is mainly limited to participants in the CLEF Evaluation Campaigns. If you would like to attend the workshop and have not been invited you must contact Carol Peters before registering.
