TEL and DELOS joint meeting

TEL and DELOS joint meeting

On February 1 and 2 representatives from TEL and DELOS met at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France to jointly review and discuss (from a technological point of view) topics of interest to a future European Digital Library, and to investigate subjects for a more strict cooperation. Also many representatives from MICHAEL attended the demonstrations presented in the first day, and some of them participated also in the second day.

The first day focused on the demonstration of Digital Library functionality developed by DELOS partners, while the second day focused on discussion of more broad technology issues, and then on specific subjects for cooperation. The agenda of the two days was as follows.
