Content management in contemporary enterprises concerns a
variety of information resources: documents in different forms, databases, and
metadata such as ontologies, annotations, and indexes. XML and the web are
important technologies used to support both resource integration and
distribution. The main objective of the minitrack is to discuss the problems and
novel solutions in the
management of content, and for covering the technical and social aspects alike.
Topics can include:
- ·
novel applications of XML for content management
- ·
content management in work processes and organizational
contexts
- ·
content management on diverging / converging media (web,
mobile, Digi-TV)
- ·
text transformations
- ·
advances in functionality of applications
- ·
managing multilingual and multicultural content
- ·
metadata and ontologies
- ·
role of communicative / document genre
- ·
information security on content management
- ·
approaches,
methodologies and techniques for the development and modelling justification
and evaluation of initiatives and implementations
- ·
content management in specific areas like e-business,
e-government, arts, or education.

Document
genres are communicative actions with socially recognized communicative
purpose and common aspects of form (such as newsletters, FAQs, and homepages).
Genres are situated in communicative practices; they are anchored in specific
institutions and processes. Recognizing the genre of a document is useful
because it makes communications more easily recognizable and understandable by
recipients and more easily generated by senders. Thus, the study of genres,
besides enhancing our understanding of information searching and use, may
provide insights into organizational or community structures. As well, the
successful use of digital media implies the emergence of new or transformed
genres. In a digital environment, documents have functionality as well as form
and content, but the contextual clues by which functionality can be
ascertained are missing. For this reason, genre provides fixity in
communication and is an increasingly important resource for the interpretation
of the content, role, and function of a digital document.

This minitrack will cover theoretical and application
issues related to information retrieval, cross-language document search,
link-based web search, text summarization, and fact-based question-answering as
well as the applications of these technologies in Digital Libraries.
We
hope to include papers that investigate IR methods applied to Web documents,
non-English documents, spoken document retrieval, and geographic information
retrieval as well as internal and distributed retrieval from digital libraries.
Topics
would include, but not be limited to, the following areas:
- Ø
Information Retrieval Language Models, Algorithms and Tools
-Fact-based Open-domain
- Ø
Question Answering -Web-based Information Retrieval -Topic
Detection and Tracking over time
- Ø
Geographic Information Retrieval, gazeteers -Information
Visualization
- Ø
Text Categorization and Summarization
- Ø
Cross Language Retrieval
- Ø
Speech and Broadcast Retrieval
- Ø
Distributed Retrieval from Digital Libraries
- Ø
IR Performance and Evaluation

Persistent
conversations occur via instant messaging, chat, email, bulletin boards, MOOs,
graphical VR environments, document annotation systems, text messaging on mobile
phones, etc. Their persistence affords new uses (e.g. searching, replaying,
restructuring) and raises new problems. This multi-disciplinary minitrack seeks
contributions from researchers and designers that improve our ability to
understand, analyze, and/or design persistent conversation systems.
We
are seeking papers that address one or both of the following general areas:
- Ø
Understanding Practice.
- Ø
Design
- Ø
Analytical Tools
- Ø
Social Implications
- Ø
Historical Parallels
