ISKO-FRANCE '99
INDEXING IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET
Lyon
21-22 october 1999
Organizers :
* Enssib
* Universiti Jean- Moulin Lyon3
* Isko-france

SCOPE: Gathered around the French section of ISKO (International
Society of Knowledge Organisation), the French-speaking community of
academics doing research in this field has been organizing meetings
since 1997. The purpose of the 1999 conference, jointly convened by
ENSSIB and ERSICO- LYON 3, (in Lyon, France) is to give academics the
opportunity to get information on the most recent findings and
exchange viewpoints on research dealing with the latest developments
in the area of models, tools and research carried out in the field of
indexing. This field of expertise is definitely bound to develop
significantly because of the impact of the internet. The wealth of
available materials means that it is not possible to choose any form
of indexing but automatic indexing; moreover the abundance of
documents means that one needs to be able to use a powerful tool to
select information.  To this, one must add the fact that more and more
information present on the web is in multimedia form. Indexing
languages and their semantic aspects have to be seen in a new
perspective.  Vocabulary control and the descriptive role of metadata
play a new important role.  The various solutions that have been
brought up (Dublin core, EAD, MCF, GILS, etc.) regarding document
structuring such as the web pages or more complex documents (for
example geography or space-related documents) mean that it is time to
take stock of research and practices within the French-speaking
community as these aspects are more and more key elements in research
in information science. This conference is interdisciplinary and
brings together academics and experts in computer science, information
science (information scientists, librarians and archivists), in
ergonomics, in linguistics or cognitive science.

TOPICS
Topics suitable for presentation papers include, but are not limited to:

* Metadata
* Traditional indexing and classification tools
* Multimedia and hypermedia documents
* Natural language processing
* Indexing and multilingual information retrieval
* Indexing and image retrieval
* Pattern recognition techniques
* Theoretical and formal aspects of indexing
* Indexing and its context: intranet, virtual libraries, online
catalogs, search engines, etc.
* Indexing and users studies

The 4th EUROLAN Summer School
on Human Language Technology

"Lexical Semantics and Multilinguality"

19-31 July 1999
Iai/Duru - Romania

http://www.infoiasi.ro/~eurolan99/

The theme reflects the growing international interest on lexical
semantics in correlation with the current approach of the modern
information society for stimulating technological bases that would
allow minor languages to have equal access to information. It aims at
approaching problems related to the deep understanding of texts,
WordNet, discourse interpretation and intelligent web browsers based
on language interpretation. It is also our desire to stimulate
West/East and East/East collaboration in this domain.

It has become a tradition that, within the main topic of the Eurolan
Schools, related directions are approached that could also house
workshops aimed at stimulating discussions and further
collaboration. Three thematic tracks are planned for Eurolan'99:

I. Lexical Semantics - the structure of WordNet, its building
principles, how much experience from English can be borrowed in order
to apply to other languages, how WordNet can be used for word sense
disambiguation, anaphora resolution, textual summarization and machine
translation.

2. Motivation, History, and Design of WordNet

4. Probabilistic methods in the context of a taxonomy and methods for

7. Wordnets and ontologies in NLP

anaphora, how can discourse structure influence summarization, are
discourse interpretation and summarization techniques dependent on
language?
