About the Conference

Digital archives/libraries are widely recognized as a crucial component
of a global information infrastructure for the new century.  Research
and development projects in many parts of the world are concerned about
using advanced information technologies for managing and manipulating
digital information, ranging from data storage, preservation, indexing,
searching, presentation, and dissemination capabilities to organizing
and sharing of information over networks.  ICDAT 2005 is the third in a
series of International Conferences on Digital Archive Technologies
sponsored by the R. O. C. Taiwan's National Digital Archives Program.
The purpose of this conference is to provide unique opportunities for
participants to share their research results and best practice
experiences in the utilization of advanced technologies for and the
approaches to the development of digital archives/libraries/museums.
