TPDL 2022
2022-09-20
The International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL) is a yearly date for researchers on Digital Libraries and related topics. For over twenty-five years TPDL has been an international reference forum focused on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues. TPDL encompasses the many meanings of the term “digital libraries”, including new forms of information institutions; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, and distributing digital content; and theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing. Digital libraries may be viewed as a new form of information institution or as an extension of the services libraries currently provide. Representatives from academia, government, industry, research communities, research infrastructures, and others are invited to participate in this annual conference. The conference draws from a broad and multidisciplinary array of research areas including computer science, information science, librarianship, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, technology, social sciences, cultural heritage and humanities, and scientific communities. This year its focus is on bridging the wide field of Research and Information Science with the related field of Digital Libraries. Indeed, TPDL historically approached on “Digital libraries” embracing the field at large also comprehending three key areas of interest that can be synthesized as scholarly communication (e.g. research data, research software, digital experiments, digital libraries), e-science/computationally-intense research (e.g. scientific workflows, Virtual Research Environments, reproducibility) and library, archive and information science (e.g. governance, policies, open access, open science). This emphasises TPDL’s role over the last 25 years as a forum that brings together researchers and practitioners whose work intersects with Digital Libraries. Regardless of how your work connects with Digital Libraries, we invite you to participate.

Towards implementing Collections as Data in GLAM institutions
2022-10-25 15:30 - 16:45 (Europe/Madrid)
The webinar will bring together theory and practice on how to make available GLAM digital collections as datasets for publication and re-use by researchers, GLAM professionals, creative workers and other users. As the options for preparing collections as data are nearly endless, starting the implementation of the Collections as Data principle may be daunting. To support GLAM institutions to start on this journey, the webinar gives a practical overview of the steps that can be taken and presents some of the choices to be made. You will also learn about real-life examples from the National Library of Scotland, the German National Library, the Library of Congress, Europeana, KBR – Royal Library of Belgium and the Royal Danish Library.
To be able to cater the webinar to the community’s needs and in order to understand the current knowledge and uptake of the Collections as Data principle in GLAM institutions, we invite you to complete a brief survey (up to 10 minutes) by October 20th, 2022. The survey results will also be integrated in research related to enhancing the application of the Collections as Data principle in GLAM institutions.
This webinar is open to all and free to attend. Registration is necessary and possible via this link: https://dariah.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEuduupqT4pE9ASLO7lOC7yXflrK__oMVmK

IMPACT 10th Anniversary Workshop and Writing Sprint
2022-12-12 13:00 - 2022-12-13 17:00 | Universidad de Alicante, Ctra de San Vicente del Raspeig, S/N, Alicante, 03560, Spain
Established in December 2012, the IMPACT Centre of Competence in Digitisation will celebrate its 10th Birthday on 12th December 2022. With its foundation in the European-funded IMProving ACcess to Text project (2008-2012) and strengthened through the SUCCEED project (2013-2014).While IMPACT’s original vision of “making digitisation: better, faster and cheaper”, still holds true, a key challenge is how to integrate state-of-the-art digitisation research into day-to-day digitisation practices and operations. As we reach our 10th Anniversary, now is the ideal opportunity to review our achievements of the past and make plans for the future.
The aim of the IMPACT 10th Birthday Workshop and Writing Sprint is to document the key themes and challenges for the international digitisation community as well pave the way for establishing a common interdisciplinary research agenda for cultural heritage; digital humanities; computer and data science, applied to the field of digitisation. Building on our IMPACT Action Plan 2022, which outlines the crucial role that the Centre of Competence has to play in the digitisation landscape, the workshop will bring together key members from the IMPACT Community, alongside a range of experts and interested parties who are active in the international digitisation community.
The output of the workshop will be an IMPACT 10th Anniversary White Paper, provisionally entitled: Sharing and Sustaining Digitisation Knowledge. It is expected to explore a number of key themes such as: Digitisation Quality and Standards; Datafication of Digitised Cultural Heritage; Digitisation Workflows and Tools and Digitisation Community Management.
The IMPACT 10th Birthday Workshop and Writing Sprint will take place from 12th-14th December 2022 at the University of Alicante, Spain. Participation in the workshop is free of charge and based on by invitation only.

LDS Technology WorkshopLegislation and regulation for data spaces: an environment to foster data sharing and AI development
2024-01-29 10:30 - 15:35 | Online
As part of the regulation of the European digital single market, the EU lawmakers have agreed on a range of legal instruments aiming to foster the development of a European data market. These legal instruments derive from the European Commission’s Strategy for Data, which comprises a series of resolutions, related communications and declarations outlining principles that pave the way for legislation.

This workshop will aim to give a panorama of the regulations that have been adopted or that are still in the pipeline for implementation in the data market (Digital Services Act (DSA), Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, Data Act (DA), Data Governance Act (DGA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Artificial Intelligence Act). It will also provide keys to understanding the interactions between these different legal instruments, their impact on the landscapes of Data Spaces and Artificial Intelligence, and how they will influence the data economy.
