Submissions to InfoVis-DL 2026 – Information Visualization in Digital Libraries: Multi-modal Applications to Cultural Heritage Collections are open. The event will be a half-day workshop co-located with TPDL 2026 – International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries, to be held on September 21, 2026.
The workshop focuses on real-world applications of information visualization in digital libraries, with particular emphasis on multi-modal cultural heritage collections spanning libraries, archives, museums, and research infrastructures.
As digital collections increasingly integrate heterogeneous and multi-modal data — including text, images, audiovisual materials, metadata, linked data, and knowledge graphs — visualization approaches are becoming essential for exploration, interpretation, knowledge discovery, and dissemination. InfoVis-DL 2026 aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, developers, and cultural heritage professionals to discuss practical experiences, methodological approaches, and emerging challenges in this domain.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Information Visualization in Cultural Heritage Contexts
- Visualization systems for digital libraries, archives, and museum collections
- Visual exploration of multi-modal cultural heritage data
- Interactive visual interfaces for historical, archival, and museum collections
- Visual storytelling and narrative interfaces for cultural heritage dissemination
- Comparative visualization approaches for heterogeneous collections
- Multi-modal Data Exploration and Interpretation
- Visualization of combined textual, image, audiovisual, geospatial, and metadata collections
- Cross-modal exploration and navigation of cultural heritage resources
- Visual analytics for complex and heterogeneous digital collections
- Temporal, spatial, and network-based visualizations for cultural heritage data
- Visualization techniques supporting interpretation and contextualization of collections
- Knowledge Representation and Semantic Exploration
- Visualization of linked open data and semantic cultural heritage resources
- Knowledge graph visualization for digital libraries
- Visual interfaces for metadata enrichment and semantic linking
- Visualization approaches supporting FAIR and interoperable cultural heritage data
- Semantic search and exploratory interfaces for digital collections
- AI, Generative Approaches, and Emerging Technologies
- AI-assisted visualization for cultural heritage collections
- Generative AI for visual storytelling and user interaction
- Explainability in AI-supported visualization systems
- Hybrid approaches combining machine learning and visual analytics
- Human-centered AI applications in digital libraries
We welcome submissions in the form of:
- Research papers: Novel methods, systems, or theoretical contributions
- Case studies and position papers: Real-world implementations, lessons learned, and institutional experiences. Emerging ideas, critical reflections, and future research directions. Visualization systems, tools, or interactive prototypes
Accepted contributions will be published in the Springer CCIS proceedings.
