This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries, ECDL 2002, held in Rome, Italy, in September 2002. The revised 42 full and 6 short papers presented together with 6 posters and demo descriptions were carefully reviewed and selected from 145 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on web archiving, e-book, collection building, web technologies, OAI approaches, case studies, navigation and query language, audio/video retrieval, architecture, information retrieval, evaluation, multimedia and mixed media, preservation and classification, user studies, humanities, and demos and posters.

Database technology is currently being pushed by the needs of new applications and pulled by the oppor- tunities of novel developments in hardware and systems architecture. The invited paper, two panel sessions and 27 papers in this volume report on how the technology is currently extending. One broad area covered is extended database semantics, including data models and data types, databases and logic, complex objects, and expert system approaches to databases. The other area covered is raw architectures and increased database systems support, including novel transaction models, data distribution and replication, database administration, and access efficiency.

The volume presents 23 revised full papers selected from 77 submissions. Also included are two invited contributions. The papers are organized in topical sections on supporting user interfaces, metadata, information retrieval, DL architectures, multilingual information retrieval, structured documents, and case studies.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Conference on Digital Libraries, DELOS 2007, held in Pisa, Italy, in February 2007. The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on similarity search, architectures, personalization, interoperability, evaluation, miscellaneous, preservation, video data management, 3D objects, and peer to peer.

Thisvolumecontainstherevisedacceptedpapersfromamongthosepresentedat the 6th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries (IRCDL 2010), which was held in the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padua, Italy, during January 28-29, 2010. The well-established aim of IRCDL is to bring together Italian researchers interested in the di?erent methods and techniques that allow the building and operation of Digital Libraries. A national Program Committee was set up c- posed of 15 members, with representatives of the most active Italian research groups on Digital Libraries. Seventeen of the papers presented at the conference were accepted for - clusion in this volume. Selected authors submitted expanded versions of their workshoppapers. Those papers were reviewed again and the results of the sel- tion arethe papers appearingin these proceedings.The coveredtopics testifying to the bright interests of the community are: - System Interoperability and Data Integration including emerging interop- ability issues and technologies promoting interoperability - Infrastructures, Metadata Creation and Content Management for Digital Libraries, such as methods and techniques for text summarization and key phraseextraction,ontology-basedannotation,event-centricprovenancem- els, semantic relatedness - Information Access and Search for Digital Library Systems from mat- matical symbol indexing to term-based text retrieval and disambiguation techniques, from audio-based information retrieval to video content-based identi?cation, classi?cation and retrieval - User Interfaces for Digital Libraries including interactive visual represen- tions, collaborativeuser interfaces,multimodal user interface for multimedia Digital Libraries, personalization models The volume also contains the reports on the two keynote addresses and a communication on a relevant national project.
