Like in the two previous years,
the objective of the 3rd HDL workshop is to provide an informal forum for
researchers from academia, industry and health care institutions to present
their work on digital libraries in healthcare, share their experience and discuss
mutual technical and user-centred interests in order to bridge the gap between academic
research and industrial and real-world project needs. An impact evaluation of
digital libraries in real-world settings is an essential part of DL research
that can answer the fundamental question: Do healthcare DLs make any
difference to clinical practice and patient care? Academic researchers can often provide technically brilliant solutions to theoretical problems with no applicability to the real-world systems. Real-world health care project decision makers are not involved in cutting-edge research to see how new inventions could serve the needs of real projects. User-centred research should bridge this gap but the application of this within the healthcare domain has been limited. This workshop is aiming to bridge this gap by providing digital library researchers an opportunity to discuss and collaborate with colleagues working on real-world healthcare projects. In particular, it will focus on information management in health-care digital libraries, health care information provision on the Internet, searching and Web crawling, personalization aspects and end-user evaluation and needs for information in digital libraries. The presentations are not expected to be directly related to existing healthcare applications but should address technical or implementation issues that need to be solved in real health care systems. By attracting researchers and decision makers from academia, industry and health care institutions, this workshop will be a unique event providing a forum for sharing both technical user-centred interests enabling post-workshop collaboration. HDL 2003: the 1st HDL Workshop was held in conjunction with the ECDL 2003 conference in Trondheim, Norway in August 2003. HDL
2004: the 2nd HDL Workshop was held in conjunction with the ECDL
2004 conference in Bath, UK in September 2004. |
