DELOS/NSF Study Panel on Information Extraction from Digital Libraries

该建议是建立一个关于“从数字图书馆中提取信息”的美国-欧盟/DELOS工作组/研究小组。 工作组将在明年举行会议，讨论和评价在这一一般性专题领域开展的富有成效的联合活动和合作活动的研究途径。 欧盟部分的工作是由欧洲数字图书馆研究和规划活动的主要组织者DELOS论坛资助和管理的。 DELOS得到了欧盟委员会信息社会技术（IST）第五框架计划的支持。这一努力继续了早先由国家科学基金-欧盟工作组进程开始的规划和评估活动。 1998年10月在布鲁塞尔发表的最后报告“数字图书馆国际研究议程”认为，加强合作和互动对建立多语种、多国数字图书馆至关重要。新工作组的目标是确定关于特定主题的研究议程，并确定欧盟和美国研究人员之间的合作领域和活动。这一特定小组的努力在规划过程中迈出了下一步，评估了与从数字图书馆提取信息有关的研究和资源开发的未来方向。

The proposal is to establish a US-EU/DELOS working group/study panel on "Information Extraction from Digital Libraries". The working group will meet over the next year to discuss and evaluate fruitful joint activities and research paths for collaborative activities in this general topical area. The EU component of the effort is funded and managed by the DELOS Forum, a major organizer of digital libraries research and planning activities in Europe. DELOS receives support from the Information Societies Technologies (IST) 5th Framework Programme of the European Commission. This effort continues the planning and assessment activities begun by an earlier NSF-EU working groups' process. In their final report "An International Research Agenda for Digital Libraries", delivered in Brussels in October 1998, increased levels of collaboration and interaction was seen as critical to building multi-lingual, multi-national digital libraries. The objective of the new working groups, of which this is one, is to define a research agenda on a specific topic and identify areas and activities for cooperation between EU and US researchers. The efforts of this particular group take the next step in the planning process by assessing future directions for research and resource development related to information extraction from digital libraries.
