Call for Papers

TPDL 2020
24th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries

Lyon, France, 25-28 August 2020.

http://eric.univ-lyon2.fr/tpdl2020/

TPDL 2020 will be co-located with
- 24th European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems
- 16th EDA days on Business Intelligence & Big Data
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Digital libraries and repositories store, manage, represent and 
disseminate rich and heterogeneous data that are often of enormous 
cultural, scientific, educational, artistic, and social value. Serving 
as digital ecosystems for empowering researchers and practitioners they 
provide unparalleled opportunities for novel knowledge extraction and 
discovery. New applications rise novel challenges that can only be 
addressed in an interdisciplinary community of researchers and 
practioners from various disciplines such as Digital Humanities, 
Information Sciences and others. TPDL 2020 attempts to facilitate 
establishing connections and convergences between these communities that 
could benefit from (and contribute to) the ecosystems offered by digital 
libraries and repositories. To become especially useful to the diverse 
research and practitioner communities, digital libraries need to 
consider special needs and requirements for effective data utilization, 
management and exploitation.

Following the previous TPDL editions, TPDL 2020 invites submissions for 
scientific and research work in the following categories: Full Papers, 
Short Papers, Posters and Demonstrations, Workshops and Tutorials,
