Notes

  1. Each leader should bring 15 copies of the names of the people s/he has invited or is planning to invite. Please indicate those who have already accepted.
  2. Prior to the meeting, the US and European leaders of each working group should meet to discuss the specific focus and process they intend to use in developing a research agenda with their working group. One member of each working group should be prepared to summarize this for all of the other leaders during the leaders' meeting on Friday.
  3. Please bring a list of citations that should be distributed to all working group participants and citations specific to your particular working group. Our goal is to ensure that there be appropriate preparation before each working group session.
  4. The intellectual property working group and the optimized searching group expect to meet in Europe for their first meeting. Consequently, if possible, the interoperability and metadata groups should plan for a US first meeting. By the conclusion of Friday's meeting, I would like to have dates for the first meeting of each group.

Since multilinguality is a very important component of the DL research and development, Christos and Dan have suggested adding a group in this area. To do this, Judith Klavans from Columbia University on the US side and Peter Schauble from ETHZ, Switzerland are willing to act as leaders along with a Japanese colleague, Dr. Sugimoto. Since our funding did not include the addition of this group, we are identifying ways to include it. Since I am confident that we will succeed, I have asked these working group leaders to join us.
