                                           Preface


Digital curation is a complex time and knowledge intensive process, in which knowledge
workers across various industries and application domains create new content artifacts and
insights from heterogeneous sources (content, data, knowledge). The work required for this
includes, e.g., selecting, summarizing, scheduling, translating, localising, structuring,
condensing, enriching, visualizing and explaining the various contents, taking into account the
steadily growing speed, volume and number of sources such as online newspapers, news
portals, social media, linked data, business information systems, IoT data streams etc. AI
methods, in particular from the field of language and semantic knowledge technologies, are
used to support these tasks and thereby accelerate and qualitatively improve them.

The objectives of the first International Conference on Digital Curation Technologies, Qurator
2022, are to provide a forum dedicated to the dissemination of original research, the discussion
of practical insights, the reporting on relevant experience relating to the adoption of digital
curation technologies in different application domains, and the demonstration of tools in
domain-specific use cases. It is also meant to be a forum for the exchange of ideas and initial
results, for example, through posters and demos.

Qurator 2022 was organized as hybrid conference at Fraunhofer FOKUS, October 19-23, 2022,
Berlin, Germany. The scientific program on October 23rd included carefully selected results
from research and development in 8 papers. The Qurator 2022 organizers were pleased to note
the applied nature of submissions.

The organizers wish to thank the members of the programme committee for reviewing the
submitted papers. We would also like to thank all authors of submitted papers. We are very
grateful to our main sponsor, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF),
and our supporting partners Xinnovations e.V. and InfAI e.V. as well as our cooperation
partners.
