Abstract
The "Digital Collection Contexts: Intellectual and Organizational Functions at Scale" workshop was held March 4, 2014, at the iConference in Berlin, Germany. The aim was to unite a community of faculty, students, system designers, and developers interested in digital collections, particularly in the context of cultural heritage aggregations. Organized by a team from the University of Illinois, the Europeana Foundation, and the University of Texas at Austin, the one-day workshop brought together an international group of experts representing diverse threads of current research and development to engage on the role of collections in the digital environment and to identify new directions for inquiry.This report compiles the position papers and includes synopses of the presentations by the authors and ensuing discussions.Ope
