1. fundamentals of HAREM: history, preliminary studies, comparison with MUC and ACE, discussion of the semantic choices, statistical validation, a proposal for future venues, and a chapter summing up what was achieved and which future prospects do we envisage.

2. participation in HAREM: most participants wrote a chapter describing their systems, their approaches and their outcome in HAREM, often also suggesting improvements or changes for the future.

3. HAREM documentation: the material produced by the organization, such as the guidelines for the annotation of the golden collection, the evaluation metrics, the architecture and programs developed, and the distribution of the golden collection as a regular corpus as well.
