  4. DL = Search Engine?

  5. DL = Digitization + Search Engine?

  6. DL Definition • What: information and services • comprehensive • rich forms and kinds • read-and-expand-only • Why: learning and research • When: value at depth of time

  7. Information Space for DLs High Databases/IR Structure of Behavior Digital Libraries Web High Low Structure of Data

  8. Conceptual Framework Usage Management Contents Digital Library System

  9. Current Methodology

  10. Current Methodology Content-centric Targeted for static storage Environment-specific Isolated and repeated efforts Isolated systems

  11. Current Myths Digital Libraries are for things in Libraries only Digital Libraries are for Cultural Heritage only

  12. Grand 10-Year Vision #1 Digital librariesshould enable any citizen to access all human knowledge anytime and anywhere, in a friendly, multi-modal,efficient, and effective way, by overcoming barriers of distance, language, and culture and by using multiple Internet-connected devices

  13. Grand 10-Year Vision #2 The potential exists for digital libraries to become theuniversalknowledgerepositoriesandcommunication conduitsforthefuture,acommonvehiclebywhicheveryonewillaccess,discuss, evaluate, and enhanceinformationofallforms

  14. Visualisation (generic) User Interface (generic) Access (generic) Preservation (generic) Digital Library Management Systems Visualisation (specialised) Personalisation Customisation User Interface (specialised) Management Access (specialised) Spoken-Word Audio Mgmt Preservation (specialised)

  15. Future Digital Libraries Content-centric Targeted for static storage Environment-specific/Isolated and repeated efforts Isolated systems Myths about restricted applications Person-centric Targeted for active communication/collaboration Generic DLMS technology to build on Global distributed interacting systems “All” applications

  16. Future Digital Library Development

  17. DL Vision and UNESCO WSIS Information for All Human Capacity Building Personal Information Culture Education Cultural Diversity Universal Access to Public Domain Info Freedom of Expression Partnership and Cooperation Digitization and Preservation

  18. 'Society' Operational Context Users Providers `Science’

  19. 'Society' Interfaces Interfaces DL Information Space (One instantiation per 'society‘) Operational Context Users Providers

  20. Stakeholders • Past-Present: users and providers are mutually exclusive sets • Future: `user’ and `provider’ are roles • Same actor may play both roles at different times • DLs at the center of scientific activity (collaboration & communication tool) • Increases set of actors and set of applications

  21. Applications • DLs as parts of larger organizations and application contexts: • Health • Inclusion • Science • Government • Culture • Learning ... • Libraries, Museums, Archives, Hospitals, …

  22. Person-Centric Research • Personalized, customized, context-dependent, task-specific, knowledge-based, goal-oriented user/information interaction • Harvest info across linguistic boundaries

  23. Person-Centric Research • Adding personal memory to global memory, originator notification • Collaboration, social context • Distributed (peer-to-peer) data creation/publication • Communication via annotations • Tools for building communities

  24. Person-Centric Research • Accessibility, usability • Security, privacy, authorization • Balancing cognitive load between user and information environment

  25. Vision Danger Antidotes • Dealing with the avalanche of information available • Protection of individuals’ privacy from sensors • Balance between privacy and personalization

  26. Rebirth of the Field DIGITAL LIBRARIES DYNAMIC UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE ENVIRONMENTS

  27. Rebirth of the Field DIGITAL LIBRARIES DYNAMIC UNIVERSAL COMMONS of KNOWLEDGE

  28. Conclusions • Vision for future Digital Libraries/DUKEs/DUCKs • Person-centric rather than Content-centric • Collaboration/communication • Cultural diversity • Linguistic diversity • Universality
