Participation in DELOS Digital Libraries Workshop in San Cassiano, Italy

这份建议备忘录为资助首席研究员参加将于2001年6月在意大利圣卡西亚诺举行的DELOS数字图书馆研讨会提供了支持和理由。本次会议题为“数字图书馆：欧洲研究计划的未来研究方向”，预计将成为一个开创性的事件，为欧洲数字图书馆研究和应用活动的下一阶段制定核心知识议程和操作框架。在网络、系统、内容、使用和信息生命周期的其他阶段，美国和欧盟的议程通过共同目标自然地联系在一起，以实现互操作性。长期总体目标是发展全球信息网络基础设施的共享资源。会议由DELOS数字图书馆卓越网络与欧洲委员会第五FP IST计划的文化遗产申请单位合作组织。

This recommendation memo provides support and justification for funding the Principal Investigator to participate in a DELOS Digital Libraries Workshop to be held in San Cassiano, Italy in June, 2001. This meeting, entitled "Digital Libraries: Future Research Directions for a European Research Programme," is expected to be a seminal event for producing the core intellectual agenda and operational framework for the next phase of European activities in digital libraries research and applications. The US and EU agendas are naturally linked by common goals to achieve interoperability at the networking, systems, content, usage and other stages in the information lifecycle. A long-term overall goal is the development of shared resources for a global information cyber-infrastructure. The meeting is being organized by the DELOS Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries, in cooperation with the Cultural Heritage Applications Unit of the 5th FP IST Programme of the European Commission.
