The 1999 LITA Preconference:
"Making Sense of Digital Identifiers for Internet and Other Applications"
will take place on Friday, June 25 from 9a.m. - 4p.m. at the Hilton Hotel in
New Orleans. Early registration deadline is May 21, 1999. This workshop
will
highlight the growing need for such identifiers as presented by a formidable
group of experts.
Keynote speakers:
Clifford Lynch, CNI and William Arms, CNRI
Electronic identifiers are of increasing importance in the management of
digital objects, both on and off the Internet, and affect services such as
library operations, copyright privileges, item tracking, discovery and
linking,
commercial transactions, and archiving. This workshop will include
theoretical, practical and descriptive information on many of the high profile
identifiers that are now in use or under development, such as the Digital
Object Identifier System (DOI) and CNRI's Handle System on which it is based,
the International Standard Work Number (ISWN), and the Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI) concept. Applications, representative problems and
complications surrounding their development and implementation, and
examples of
their use and management, will all be presented.
This workshop is aimed at all levels of library staff that will be affected,
from public services and bibliographers, to technical services.
Scheduled speakers include:
William Arms, Vice President, Corporation for National
Research Initiatives (CNRI)
Helen Barsky Atkins, Director of Database Development,
Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)
Leslie L. Daigle, URI expert and consultant
Brian Green, Executive Director, Book Industry
Communication (BIC) and EDItEUR
Clifford Lynch, Executive Director, Coalition for
Networked Information (CNI)
Dr. Norman Paskin, Director of International Digital
Object Identifier (DOI) Foundation
Stuart Weibel, Senior Research Scientist for OCLC's
Office of Research
