CARMEN is a Global-Info funded project Start/End: 1 Oct 1999 - 28 Feb 2002 The focus of CARMEN is on content analysis. It will develop new tools in the subject with strong connection to retrieval. Efforts to give homogeneity and consistency to decentralized information environments try to create information systems for distributed data repositories. Quite often the approach is by technical means to physically gain access to differently structured spaces of documents. This will not suffice: The main problem of different content type and conceptional design of the various data collections is not solved this way. The project therefore will approach content analysis with developments and prototypical implementations in three fields: MetaData Treatment of (remaining) heterogeneity Retrieval for structured documents and heterogenous data types
