OPEN REPOSITORIES 2008: CALL FOR PAPERS & PANELS

OPEN REPOSITORIES 2008: CALL FOR PAPERS & PANELS
http://www.openrepositories.org/2008
Repositories are being deployed in a variety of settings (research,
scholarship, learning, science, cultural heritage) and across a range of scales (subject, national, regional, institutional, project, lab, personal). The aim of this conference is to address the technical, managerial, practical and theoretical issues that arise from diverse applications of repositories in the increasingly pervasive information environment.

A programme of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, workshops, tutorials and developer coding sessions will bring together all the key stakeholders in the field. Open source software community meetings for the major platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will also provide opportunities to advance and co-ordinate the development of repository installations across the world.

We invite developers, researchers and practitioners to submit papers describing novel experiences or developments in the construction and use of repositories. Submissions of up to 4 pages in length are requested in PDF or HTML format. Detailed submission instructions will be made available from this page.
