Of the 8 short paper submissions, only 4 (50%) submissions have been Thessaloniki 2017 accepted, and of the 5 poster/demo submissions, only 2 (40%) submissions have been accepted. Selected full paper submissions were redirected for Jaap Kamps evaluation as potential short or poster/demo papers, following the recom- Giannis Tsakonas mendations of the reviewers. Yannis Manolopoulos Lazaros Iliadis Each submission was reviewed by at least three program committee members, and two senior program committee members, and the two chairs oversaw the reviewing and often extensive follow-up discussion. Where the discussion was not sufficient to make a decision, the paper went through an extra review by the program committee. Each paper was discussed indi- vidually, based on the reviews, the metareviews, and the discussion at a PC Meeting, where the final decisions were made. The conference is honored by three very interesting keynote speeches by Paul Groth on “Machines are people too”, Elton Barker on “Back to the future: annotating, collaborating and linking in a digital ecosystem” and Dimitrios Tzovaras on “Visualization in the big data era: data mining from networked information”. All three cover important areas of the digital library field. 2 TPDL2017 TPDL2017 3 ORGANISATION PROGRAM COMMITTEE COMMITTEE GeneraL CHairs Senior PC members Yannis Manolopoulos, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Trond Aalberg, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Lazaros Iliadis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece David Bainbridge, University of Waikato, New Zealand Tobias Blanke, University of Glasgow, UK Program CHairs Jose Borbinha, IST / INESC-ID, UK George Buchanan, City University London, UK Jaap Kamps, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Donatella Castelli, CNR-ISTI, Italy Giannis Tsakonas, University of Patras, Greece Stavros Christodoulakis, Technical University of Crete, Greece Milena Dobreva, University of Malta, Malta Organising CHair Nicola Ferro, University of Padua, Italy Apostolos Papadopoulos, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Edward Fox, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA Ingo Frommholz, University of Bedfordshire, UK PUBLicitY/PUBLication CHair Norbert Fuhr, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Ioannis Karydis, Ionian University, Greece Richard Furuta, Texas A&M University, USA Marcos Goncalves , Federal University of Minas Gerais , Brazil WorksHop CHairs Annika Hinze, University of Waikato, New Zealand Philipp Mayr, GESIS, Germany Sarantos Kapidakis, Ionian Uninversity, Greece Kjetil Nørvåg, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Laszlo Kovacs, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary Clifford Lynch, CNI, USA TUtoriaL CHairs Wolfgang Nejdl, L3S and University of Hannover, Germany Thomas Risse, L3S, Germany Michael Nelson, Old Dominion University, USA Gianmaria Silvello, University of Padua, Italy Erich Neuhold, University of Vienna, Austria Christos Papatheodorou, Ionian University, Greece PaneL CHair Edie Rasmussen, University of British Columbia, Canada Cristina Ribeiro, University of Porto, Portugal Andreas Rauber, Vienna University of Technology, Austria Thomas Risse, L3S Research Center, Germany Posters/Demo CHairs Laurent Romary, INRIA & HUB-ISDL, France Seamus Ross, University of Toronto, Canada Vangelis Banos, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Heiko Schuldt, University of Basel, Switzerland Annika Hinze, University of Waikato, New Zealand Mário J.

  • European Television History Online History and Challenges
    Journal of European History and Culture | Vol. 1, 1, 2012 European Television History Online History And Challenges Sonja de Leeuw Utrecht University | Muntstraat 2A 3512 EV Utrecht | The Netherlands | [email protected] Abstract: Increasingly television heritage is being digitized and made accessible to non- industry users, enabling ‘the archival turn’: the study of online archives so as to revisit the dominant dis- courses in television historiography. This article discusses both conceptual and practical perspec- tives on online television heritage within a broader European frame- work. It starts from the notion of connectivity, pointing to the development of the archive as a network of connections and con- tinues to address the dynamics involved in the trans- formation of the television archive into an online presentation including the most relevant actors. With the help of examples from Dutch and European television heritage projects the article discusses how the new archive is capable of me- diating between the past and present, between history and memory, between curatorial perspec- tives and popular uses. It concludes on the challenges that (European) online television heritage offers in the field of television historiography and theory. Keywords: European television heritage, cultural heritage, popular memory, television history 1 It’s All About Connectivity Online European television heritage is a fact. It represents what has been coined ‘the archival turn’.1 Television programming material that was until recently locked into archival vaults and mainly used by professionals has now become available and accessible to non-industry users.2 The range of these potential users is large. Ad- dressing their needs requires multi-layered access and a diversity of navigational routes, tailor-made functionali- ties, and tools to help make sense of the data.

  • Changing Trains at Wigan: Digital Preservation and the Future of Scholarship
    National Preservation Office Changing Trains at Wigan: Digital Preservation and the Future of Scholarship Dr Seamus Ross, HATII, University of Glasgow NPO Preservation Guidance Occasional Papers Author Dr Seamus Ross, Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute (HATII), University of Glasgow Design The British Library Design Office © Dr Seamus Ross, 2000 November 2000 Changing Trains at Wigan: Digital Preservation and the Future of Scholarship* 1. Introduction This paper examines the impact of the emerging digital landscape on long term access to material created in digital form and its use for research; it identifies and examines challenges, risks and expectations. It is 6:20 on Monday morning. The Virgin train taking me towards St Helens just lurched from Glasgow Central Station. As the train races southward through what will soon be the mist of Dumfries and then the beautiful rolling countryside of Cumbria, I know I face four uncertainities: will my train arrive on time; will the battery in my laptop last the three and a half hours; more troublingly, how am I going to explain to the Museum I am about to visit that the system designs they have produced will not translate into viable and effective computer-based interactive programmes; and most importantly for you, how am I going to convert the weekend’s worth of formal notes, jottings of ill-formed ideas, and unrecorded musings into a coherent examination of digital preservation and its impact on research and learning in the future. All four fears share the same roots: they are about using past experience to manage the uncontrollable, the need to prophecy about the unpredictable, and they are about technology.

Today interoperability is considered a key-step to move from isolated digital repositories towards a common information space that allow users to browse through different resources within a single integrated environment. In this conference we describe the multi-level challenges that digital repositories face towards policy and quality interoperability, presenting the approaches and the interim outcomes of the Policy and Quality Working Groups within the EU-funded project DL.org (http://www.dlorg.eu/). 1. Introduction At the heart of digital libraries lays a digital repository. As outlined in the DELOS Digital Library Manifesto (Candela et al. 2008), the digital library universe is a complex framework in which at least three types of conceptually different “systems” can be identified, namely, digital libraries (DLs), digital library systems (DLSs) and digital library management systems (DLMSs). Architecture, personalization, quality, policy and usability are essential to the design and deployment of digital libraries. Digital libraries represent the confluence of many interdisciplinary fields, from data management, information retrieval, library sciences, document management to web services, information systems, image processing, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and digital curation.
