CARMEN aims the development of new techniques and tools in the area of content analysis with strong conjunction to retrieval.

CARMEN is a project in the Global-Info Program of the federal ministry of science in Germany.

When trying to connect different databases for retrieval purposes, the problem arises, that these repositories may not only vary in their technical structure but in their structure with regard to content analysis. The objective of CARMEN is to build systems for distributed data repositories. That means as a sum of homogeneous data bases one gets access to one large heterogeneous data pool.

In this context the project basically works on three subject areas: metadata, retrieval and heterogeneity treatment.

In the talk the topic of CARMENS eight working packages and their current status is described.

independently of the talk there will be a poster session with presentation of CARMEN at the workshop

The IuK 2001 is organized by the German Psychological Association (DGPs) and the Institute for Psychology Information (ZPID).
