AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE

Digital Libraries is a field and subject of research and development aimed at
promotion of the theory and practice of processing, distribution, storage, retrieval
and analysis of digital objects of different nature. These contemporary repositories
of knowledge appear as complex information systems, development and use of which
require the solution of many scientific, technological, methodological, economic,
legal and other issues. Alongside with textual and multimedia digital objects,
usual for traditional libraries, such systems have to deal with structured data,
with a great variety of digital objects of a various nature as well as with
metadata describing them. Challenges associated with the management of so diverse
information resources and the increasing variety of user needs invoke multitude
of advanced information system technologies and standards. Such technologies include
those developed for Semantic Web, data intensive sciences, Big Data to address
system interoperability, data parallel computing, data integration under conditions
of the rapidly increasing heterogeneity and volume of data. Innovations that enhance
the exchange of information with rich semantics are becoming the center of discussions
in the Digital Library community.

The series of the All-Russian scientific conferences RCDL is presented on the
site http://rcdl.ru. They aimed at the formation of the Russian corps of the global DL community of scientists.

YOUNG SCIENTISTS' SUPPORT

As a tradition, the workshop "Doctoral Research on Information Technologies
Related with Digital Libraries" is co-located with the conference. The doctoral
workshop provides to the authors of papers selected on the basis of preliminary
reviewing, the opportunity to present current results of their research and
discuss their strengths and weaknesses with more experienced colleagues.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

Conference Proceedings will be published as a collection of texts
of accepted full papers, short papers and abstracts of posters as well as
in electronic form on a permanent conference website http://rcdl.ru.
Full papers will be also published on the CEUR Workshop Proceedings repository,
to provide for better visibility of RCDL-2013 publications for the
international scientific community.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Working languages are Russian and English. Extended abstracts and papers can
be in any of them. The Program Committee expects the original papers,
not published earlier and having a research orientation.
It is strongly recommended that the languages of the paper and presentation
were different, it helps to follow the thread of speech to both Russian
and foreign participants.
Extended abstracts are to be presented to the Program Committee in
electronic form via the conference website in PDF or RTF. Volume
of extended abstracts may not be less than 2000 words. Abstracts should
provide a fairly complete picture of the paper content, include a list
of references and/or links to Internet resources. When submitting extended
abstracts, authors should specify to which of the basic topics of the
conference their papers are related. Several suitable areas listed
above in the conference topics can be specified simultaneously.
The selection of papers by the Conference Program Committee is
based on peer reviewing the texts of extended abstracts. The Program
Committee may accept the submission as a full paper, as a short paper (2000 - 3000 words) if it contains interesting results, but does not look sufficient for publication
as a full article, and as a poster. Accepted papers must be prepared in accordance
with the rules, which will be published on the conference website.
RCDL conferences hold face to face. Acceptance of a paper by the Program Committee
assumes mandatory registration and participation of at least one of the authors
at the conference and personal presentation of this work.
