Venezia, 12 - 13 settembre 2008
Online Repositories in Architecture is the international conference organised by EAAE (European Association for Architectural Education) and Collaboratorio (Italy) from the MACE project partnership. It will be held in Venice on 12-13 September 2008, during the period of “La Biennale di Architettura 2008”. The conference is in the context of MACE (Metadata for Architectural Contents in Europe), a European project co-funded by the European Commission.
MACE Goals The MACE project is interlinking architectural repositories. Gaps resulting from autonomous design, implementation, funding, and maintenance are bridged by implementing conceptual tools (ontologies, glossaries, and standards), interfaces and metadata agglomeration. This happens in order to create innovative e-learning tools that can help expert users and laypeople to find, tag, acquire, use, and discuss contents from many architectural repositories that previously had limited accessibility.
Venice Conference Goals The Venice conference offers the opportunity to make MACE known to a wider public and, mostly, to summon educators, researchers, students, archivists, IT practitioners, and managers of major European architectural portals in order to share knowledge and experience, to convey approaches and research, to promote conceptual and technological tools, to search for common or integrated visions.
Conference Topics The conference is structured around a series of 20 presentations of selected papers, complemented with roundtable debates outlined in three sessions on the following themes: 1. Education: Teaching Architecture in the Digital Age 2. Digital Architectural Archives: Preservation, Dissemination and Use 3. An European Network of Architectural Contents
Deadlines Authors are invited to submit an abstract (1500-2000 words) in English on one of the aforementioned themes before 10 April 2008 on: www.mace-project.eu/openconf
and/or send an email to: mace@asro.kuleuven
