Report on a project to develop and implement an integrated software platform to serve as information sharing and exchange environment for multimedia documents. The aim of the project is to implement and test new services specific to conference multimedia production and archival; develop new tools and techniques to extend the available facilities with multimedia indexing and browsing; build a complete conference management system on top of the agenda software used in HEP; integrate these new modules in an existing platform for digital publishing that has already been developed and tested in a previous IST project (see torii and TIPS).

Scope and Preliminary Functional Specification for a Database for Conference Programme and Proceedings (1h30')     
Round Table Discussion led by Rapporteurs with prepared input from all participants.

Outline of what we are trying to build - is it just for author information or other things as well such as: 

- paper metadata, papers themselves ....
- who are the users, who are the owners of the data, who modifies it ....
