DELOS/NSF Study Panel on Information Extraction from Digital Libraries

建议成立美国-欧盟/DELOS“从数字图书馆中提取信息”工作组/研究小组。工作组将于明年举行会议，讨论和评价在这一普遍主题领域开展富有成果的联合活动和合作活动的研究途径。欧盟部分的工作由DELOS论坛资助和管理，该论坛是欧洲数字图书馆研究和规划活动的主要组织者。DELOS得到欧盟委员会信息社会技术（IST）第五框架计划的支持。这项工作继续了早期NSF-EU工作组进程开始的计划和评估活动。在1998年10月于布鲁塞尔发表的最终报告《数字图书馆国际研究议程》中，提高协作和互动水平被视为建设多语言、多国数字图书馆的关键。新工作组的目标是确定一个特定主题的研究议程，并确定欧盟和美国研究人员之间合作的领域和活动。这个特殊小组的努力通过评估与数字图书馆信息提取相关的研究和资源开发的未来方向，在规划过程中迈出了下一步。

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.
