> Open Repositories 2010 -- "The Grand Integration Challenge"
> ==================================================================
>
> Repositories have been successfully established -- within and across
> institutions -- as a major source of digital information in a variety of
> environments such as research, education and cultural heritage. In a world
> of increasingly dispersed and modularized digital services and content, it
> remains a grand challenge for the future to cross the borders between
> diverse poles:
>
> - the web and the repository,
> - knowledge and technology,
> - wild and curated content,
> - linked and isolated data,
> - disciplinary and institutional systems,
> - scholars and service providers,
> - ad-hoc and long-term access,
> - ubiquitous and personalized environments,
> - the cloud and the desktop.
>
> The Open Repositories Conference (6 to 9-JUL-2010 in Madrid, Spain) brings
> together individuals and organizations responsible for the conception,
> development, implementation, and management of digital repositories, as well
> as stakeholders who interact with them for achieving the widest possible
> integration in theoretical, practical, and strategic matters.
>
> The program of papers, panel discussions, poster presentations, user groups,
> workshops, and tutorials will reflect the whole community of Open
> Repositories. Dedicated open source software community meetings for the
> major platforms (EPrints, DSpace and Fedora) will provide opportunities to
> advance and coordinate the development of repository installations across
> the world.
>
>
>
> The best-rated papers from the conference will be subsequently published in
> the Journal of Digital Information <http://journals.tdl.org/jodi>).
