Open Repositories 2010 -- "The Grand Integration Challenge"<br>
==================================================================<br>
<br>
Repositories have been successfully established -- within and across
institutions -- as a major source of digital information in a variety of environments
such as research, education and cultural heritage. In a world of increasingly
dispersed and modularized digital services and content, it remains a grand
challenge for the future to cross the borders between diverse poles:<br>
<br>
- the web and the repository,<br>
- knowledge and technology,<br>
- wild and curated content,<br>
- linked and isolated data,<br>
- disciplinary and institutional systems,<br>
- scholars and service providers,<br>
- ad-hoc and long-term access,<br>
- ubiquitous and personalized environments,<br>
- the cloud and the desktop.<br>
<br>
The Open Repositories Conference (6 to 9-JUL-2010 in Madrid, Spain) brings
together individuals and organizations responsible for the conception,
development, implementation, and management of digital repositories, as well as
stakeholders who interact with them for achieving the widest possible
integration in theoretical, practical, and strategic matters.<br>
<br>
The program of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, user groups,
workshops, and tutorials will reflect the whole community of Open Repositories.
Dedicated open source software community meetings for the major platforms
(EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will provide opportunities to advance and
coordinate the development of repository installations across the world.<br>
<br>
<br>
====================<br>
Submission Process<br>
====================<br>
<br>
* Conference papers *<br>
We welcome two- to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that deal
with theoretical, practical, or administrative issues of digital repositories.

web site; all presentations and related materials used in the program sessions
will be deposited in the upcoming virtual conference proceeding of Open
Repositories 2010.<br>
<br>
* User Group Presentations *<br>
Two- to four-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use of
one of the major repository platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) are invited
from developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and
practitioners describing novel experiences or developments in the construction
and use of repositories.<br>
<br>
* Posters *<br>
We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators and
practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters.<br>
<br>
* Workshops and Tutorials *<br>
Proposals for workshops require a submission as well and can be accommodated
before or after the main conference. For preparatory inquiries about workshop
facilities, please contact the local team at <<a
