Abstract / Description in JCDL 2021 Website:
This tutorial is a thorough and deep introduction to the field,
providing a firm foundation:
covering key concepts and terminology, as well as services,
systems, technologies, methods, standards, projects, issues, and practices.
It introduces and builds upon a theoretical framework
(‘5S’: Streams, Structures, Spaces, Scenarios, Societies),
giving explanations of all the key parts of a ‘minimal digital library’,
and expanding from that basis to cover key DL issues.
Illustrations come from case studies and current projects,
including with webpages, social networks, and long documents.
Further, new material will be added on building digital libraries
using container, serverless, and cloud services.
Timing and Logistics:
- Offerings:
Please select which of the two time offerings works best for you,
and sign up to attend that, i.e., either offering 1 or 2.
Each offering has a 90 minute session, 15 minute break, and then
a second 90 minute session.
- Size and Personalization:
We expect 10-25 in each session, so the event should be informal.
This should allow questions and discussions.
At the beginning of each tutorial offering, we will ask participants
to introduce themselves and explain their interests, so we can tailor
and personalize the presentations to attendee needs.
- Topical Areas:
To provide a broad introduction to the field, and to prepare
attendees for other parts of JCDL 2021, we will cover:
- General Introduction
- Theoretical Framework (i.e., 5S, DELOS)
- Teaching and Learning
- NLP, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning
- Cloud, Serverless Computing
