Full-text indexing. SearchPlanning Basic workflow execution Basic Search Operators:  XPath filtering  Sorting  Joining metadata (on URI) Experimentation in progress: Working on real ARTE scenario data initiated. Continuous experimentation with technologies

7. TCom WP1.4 Session 27-30 th Mar. ’06, CERN Geneva - Switzerland WP1.4, Index and Search7 D1.4.2 Review : Objections and actions Provide incremental document (w.r.t. D1.4.1): No action taken: document is intentionally standalone. Revise structure with regards to introductory documents: No action taken: document is as proposed by D1.x.2 template. Present more details on elements, e.g. algorithms etc No action taken : document is built around the logical view of the system. Planned for D1.4.3. Fix writing / language / formatting issues: Majority taken into account. Revise terminology (mostly WP1.3 related) Several revisions yet not entirely fixed. Revision of introductory and conclusion sections: Revised the referenced parts. Comments directly submitted to SC : NOT FIXED!
