Workshop on Electronic Publishing on the History of Science, to be held in Cambridge, MA, December 6-7, 1997

这次关于科学史上电子出版的研讨会将有助于确定该技术在本领域和相关学术领域的优势和劣势。虽然没有人能准确地预测计算机网络的发展，但许多问题似乎确实需要注意，包括各种形式的电子文档之间的相互作用（互操作性）、为电子显示和检索编码文档的标准的制定、知识产权、不断变化的受众特征和其他事项。这次研讨会将在1997年12月6日和7日在波士顿地区举行的为期两天的研讨会上，汇集来自全国各地的专家、对电子文件感兴趣的用户和学生来研究这些问题和其他问题。

This workshop on electronic publishing in the history of science will help define the strengths and weaknesses of that technology for this and related fields of scholarship. While no one can accurately anticipate the development of computer networking, a number of issues do appear likely to need attention, including interactions among various forms of electronic documents (interoperability), development of standards for coding documents for electronic display and retrieval, intellectual property rights, changing audience characteristics, and other matters. This workshop will draw together experts from across the nation, interested users of electronic documents, and students to examine these and other matters during a two-day workshop to be held in the Boston area on December 6 and 7, 1997.
