Agenda

May 17, 2001

Leonid Malkov, Cogitum
        The presentation will focus on the discussion of personal content 
        management systems, exploiting XML technology. General advantages 
        of the personal content management will be discussed, along with 
        the implementation of such features in Cogitum's SenseViewer, a 
        content management software targeted towards the needs of individuals
        users, with potentials for integration into enterprise level. The 
        presentation will also go over preliminary release of BannerML, an 
        XML language for e-shopping applications.  Special attention will be 
        devoted to personal tools for organizing information collected
        from the Internet including databases of images, banners, and 
        text fragments (Co-Tracker and Co-Citer).
