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 2005 is the third in a series of International Conferences on Digital Archive Technologies sponsored by the R. O. C. Taiwan's National Digital Archives Program. 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/museums.

  Topics
  The intended community for ICDAT 2005 includes those interested in technologies and tools for advanced digital archive systems, new knowledge about archival storage and preservation, best practices of technology development in digital archives, and applications of digital archive technologies. Participants are welcome from a variety of disciplines including computer sciences, library information sciences, archival sciences, museum studies and other related areas. ICDAT 2005 invites research submissions on all topics related to digital archives/libraries/museums, but topics contributed to technology development are strongly encouraged.
