Workshop A: Web-wide Indexing/
Semantic Header or Cover Page

The workshop is over:

The workshop will be a forum to discuss resource discovery on the Web( WWW95 in Darmstadt.) The objective is to talk about the problems with the current resource discovery mechanisms and the ways in which we might cooperate to improve them. For a more complete description of the workshop, see the official description.

Time and Format

The workshop takes place between 9:30 and 13:00 on Monday, April 10 in Room 47/051 (Audimax Building). We have not decided on a format for the workshop yet. Our scheduled time of 3.5 hours does not allow for many individual presentations, so we will try to spend most of the time in discussion. With that in mind, please read as many of the position papers as you can; it will help to get everyone familiar with the issues. Also have a look at the points we try to discuss in the summary.
