Apologies for possible cross postings. Call for Papers 1st International Workshop on Augmented Digital Libraries (ADL’14) Workshop Website: http://adl2014.wordpress.com/ co-located with i-KNOW 2014 Submission deadline: 16th April, 2014 ============================================= Digital libraries are becoming increasingly important in research. Traditionally they have been used for tasks such as finding and storing research outputs, however they are increasingly being used as sources for mining information, discovering new trends and evaluating research excellence. The rapid growth in the number of documents being deposited in digital libraries requires the provision for novel approaches that are driven by the needs of knowledge discovery, refinement, and visualisation, aimed at enhancing the individual’s experience. The foundations of such an experience are not built upon digitisation alone, but on a multi-layer knowledge structure that does not only include information about the documents in the underlying collection in the form of metadata, but also information about the content of those documents, such as the entities mentioned and the relationships between them. It is with these building blocks that it will become possible to relate search results with user needs, for instance by the automatic generation of different views that integrate and personalise information items together which can than be exploited by novel interfaces and visualisation techniques. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from the fields of digital libraries, natural language processing, information retrieval, user interfaces, the semantic web and other disciplines, where they can constructively explore and discuss the conception and realisation of systems incorporating such novelties. Some of the research themes that this workshop aims to address include, but are not limited to: 1. The development of appropriate representations and techniques for the automatic or semi-automatic extraction of metadata from source documents; 2. The automatic identification of entities, in large volumes of documents, and the relationships between these entities; 3. The provision of services and applications capable of linking and contextualizing content across large volumes of documents; 4. The facilitation of search and navigation through innovative user interfaces and visualisations; 5. The design of usable and useful interactive systems for digital libraries; 6. The evaluation of different solutions to the above through effective usability studies using existing collections of documents. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following themes related to Digital Libraries: ADVANCED ANALYSIS OF DIGITAL COLLECTIONS - Extracting semantics, entities, and patterns from large digital library collections - Interlinking and contextualizing ubiquitous data - Interoperability and Information integration - Impact and evaluation of digital libraries IMPROVED USER SERVICES IN DIGITAL LIBRARIES - User behaviour and modelling for digital libraries - Advanced methods for information discovery and exploration - Interfaces to information for novices and experts - User studies related to digital libraries interfaces - Educational uses of digital libraries ENHANCED NAVIGATION IN DIGITAL LIBRARIES - NLP techniques for searching across multilingual full text digital collections - Novel methods and techniques for information visualization - Personal digital information management - Personalisation and recommendation of search results NOVEL VISUALISATION METHODS AND TECHNIQUES - Information visualization in digital libraries - Navigating information spaces - Supporting exploration using enriched digital library content - Navigation using visual metaphors - Visualisation of large-scale information environments Important Dates Research Paper Track Submission deadline: 16th April, 2014 Notification to authors: 16th May, 2014 Camera ready: 5th June, 2014 Submissions We will be accepting submissions for both a Research Papers Track as well as for a Challenge Track (more information about this track will be issued very soon!). For the Research Papers Track we welcome submissions of original work that has not been submitted or published elsewhere. We encourage full papers (max 6 pages) describing significant work in progress, late breaking results or ideas and challenges for the domain. Possibly papers can be accepted as full papers or as posters. Authors of accepted full papers will be given the opportunity to extend a revised final version for the final proceedings. All accepted papers will be in the proceedings. Submissions should follow the ACM SIG proceedings<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>format (standard style). The review process is single-blind review and each paper will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the program committee. Research Track papers should be submitted in pdf format to easychair<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adl2014>, no later than midnight Pacific Daylight Time on *16th April 2014*. Accepted papers will be published in the CEUR workshop <http://ceur-ws.org/>proceedings and selected high quality submissions will be published in the supplementary proceedings of i-KNOW 2014.
