ECAI Meeting in conjunction with
PNC and PRDLA
August 16 - 18, 2006
Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative Summer 2006 meetings will be held in conjunction with both the Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC) and the Pacific Rim Digital Library Alliance (PRDLA). The conference is being hosted by Seoul National University Library, and will be held at Seoul National University Hoam Faculty House from August 16-18, 2006.

ECAI's theme for the meeting is to continue a focus on cultural atlas development by continuing work on the infrastructural issues in creating the projects, and by show-casing exemplar cultural atlases. We will continue our exploration into e-Science and Grid technologies for the humanities, and hope that our colleagues of Korean studies will share their cultural scholarship with the conference delegates.

ECAI Sessions:

  • Exemplary Cultural Atlases
  • Cultural Atlas Infrastructure -- spatial, temporal, biographical and thematic aspects
  • Korean Culture
  • Humanities e-Science and Grid Technologies

The session formats for the ECAI/PNC/PRDLA conference consists of oral presentations and poster/computer demonstrations. In addition to the ECAI sessions, PNC and PRDLA will offer sessions on digital archives, GIS-map collections, e-Publishing, digital preservation, GIS, e-Science, digital museums, humanities GIS, and e-Learning.

Papers can be submitted for consideration in ECAI sessions, as well as those for PNC and PRDLA. Send your paper title, author(s) names, institutional relationship and email address, and a maximum one-page abstract to Kimberly Carl at kcarl@berkeley.edu preferably by June 23.
