Workshop: ACM Workshop on XML and Information Retrieval

Just spotted this on xmlhack, thought it might be of interest to 
a number of people here.

The blurb also reminded me  to mention that the position papers from W3C's
Query Languages '98 workshop are all online at 
http://www.w3.org/TandS/QL/QL98/ and that these provide an interesting mix
of database, IR and logic/inference approaches to XML/RDF/Web query...

The ACM Information Retrieval SIG are holding an XML workshop in Athens in
July, and have issued a call for papers and participation.

Announcing the workshop, David Carmel writes:

To date, most work on storing, indexing, querying, and searching documents
in XML has stemmed from the database community's work on semi-structured
data. An alternative approach, which has received less attention to date,
is to view XML documents as a collection of text documents with additional
tags and relations between these tags. In this workshop, we will explore
both approaches and investigate the relationship between IR and XML.
More information is available from the workshop web site. The workshop is
happening as part of SIGIR 2000.
