About the Conference


 

Digital archives/libraries are widely recognized as a crucial component
of a global information infrastructure for the new century.  Research
and development projects in many parts of the world are concerned about
using advanced information technologies for managing and manipulating
digital information, ranging from data storage, preservation, indexing,
searching, presentation, and dissemination capabilities to organizing
and sharing of information over networks.  ICDAT 2004 is the second in a
series of International Conferences on Digital Archive Technologies
organized by the National Digital Archives Program, Taiwan.  The purpose
of this conference is to provide unique opportunities for participants
to share their research results and best practice experiences in the
utilization of advanced technologies for and the approaches to the
development of digital archives/libraries.  To further facilitate
experience interchange between the digital archive specialists and
delegates of APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) member economies,
ICDAT 2004 will be held in conjunction with the 2004 APEC Workshop on
Resource Sharing in Digital Libraries
(http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/APEC04).  The meeting is a forum for
participants to share their experience in the digital library
development and explore ways on cooperation and collaboration of digital
libraries in the Asia-Pacific area.
