Objective
The aim of the project is to provide a new generation of "reader's assistants", which will guide readers working in "virtual libraries" (i.e. large distributed repositories of electronic documents, including images as well as text). The project aims to promote the use of networked, multi-user models and tools that help the user find his way through large corpora, relying on knowledge acquired from textual information as well as human expertise. Specifications will be drawn up on the basis of user requirements, taking into account a variety of user profiles, cultural differences, and the need for a European dimension. A special interest group will be set up. The group will be open to public and private libraries, museums, publishers, etc., who all share the need for efficient management and exploitation of document holdings in electronic form. Libraries and text archives, research centres and technology providers are part of the consortium, which will be enlarged to comprise a wider range of actors.
