Workshop Information access to cultural heritage
Workshop Information access to cultural heritage
September 18th 2008
Location: Aarhus, Denmark
The Information Access to Cultural Heritage (IACH) workshop held in conjunction with ECDL 2008 will bring together academics carrying out research in the area of information access and practitioners working in the cultural heritage field. The goal of the workshop is promoting exchange of ideas concerning creation, curation, storage, retrieval and use of cultural heritage information. In particular, the workshop will focus on the question of how the keepers of cultural heritage resources can improve information access by applying information technology and principles currently being developed in the area of information access.
Following current trends, users are actively engaging with cultural heritage on the web, prompting heritage institutions to stimulate communities to grow around them. The workshop places an additional emphasis on active user participation, which creates new modes of access and contextualisation. These are challenging developments for cultural heritage organisations, due both to the variety and richness of cultural heritage resources and to the diverse range of users with varying information needs and search behaviors.
Organised in conjunction with the 12th European Conference On Research And Advanced Technology For Digital Libraries (ECDL 2008) www.ecdl2008.org
