Abstract

Over the human life span, 17 years is a period that marks the long transition from infancy into maturity. Definitely, conference maturity is not to be measured with the same metrics, but looking back in the areas of establishment and growth of the European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries, started in 1997, it is valid to ask what makes this conference special? We will argue that one of the unique impacts of this conference on the digital
library domain is in the quality of sharing it offers and in its particular role to inspire. While its first editions helped the establishment and the professional recognition of the digital library community, it is a great compliment to this community that this domain sprouted in a whole range of new areas, which grew strong and now meet at their specialized well-established events - digital curation and preservation, metadata, or evaluation of information services to mention just a few.
