              INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON

           Semantic Web and Digital Libraries

                        (ICSD 2007)

                 February 21-23, 2007



THEME

The proliferation of digital resources poses an unprecedented challenge to information professionals in generating efficient information services. Most patrons approach the Internet for the digital content but have no clue how to retrieve pertinent information and this has led to a demand for organized information services and resulted in digital library and institutional repositories.



Technology and tools have to be deployed for harnessing the content and for retrieval of information from the mass of unorganized resources. Semantic Web Technologies is an area that has invoked much research interest and aims at efficient information representation and retrieval. The aim of semantic web is to build conceptual relations for machine interpretation that eventually will lead to efficient knowledge mapping and organization techniques. However, research in Semantic Web is being understood and experimented in different areas

differently and one of the most pertinent applications would be in the area of Information Retrieval. Search and retrieval mechanism in Digital Libraries (DL) are moving slowly towards becoming semantic. Interoperability between digital libraries has to be based on Semantic Web principles, in order to achieve meaningful user-machine interaction.



Documentation Research and Training Centre(DRTC), Indian Statistical

Institute (ISI), Bangalore, has a long research interest in knowledge

organization techniques including its seminal contribution in the form

of Prof. S.R. Ranganathan’s faceted approach to classification.  In

recent times DRTC has applied the classical theory to practical

modeling in the area of Information Retrieval. The team at DRTC has

experimented with application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in IR and has demonstrated systems in automatic classification and indexing. With this experience and as part of the Indian Statistical Institute Platinum jubilee celebrations,

DRTC/ISI announces International conference on Semantic Web and

Digital Libraries. The objective is to bring together the best expertise in the areas of Semantic Web and Digital Libraries from leading initiatives worldwide.
