Greetings, fellow Internet reseachers. I've been lurking here on the
list for a while, and I thought some of you might be interested in the
conference in described below. I hope to present a paper there about
some aspect of my own research on misbehavior in virtual communities,
and would be interested in hearing by private email from any of you who
might like to propose an all-Internet panel with me for this event. The
MEA's website, BTW, is <http://www.media-ecology.org>

Call for Papers
First Media Ecology Association Convention
June 16-18, 2000 at Fordham University's Lincoln Center Campus in
Manhattan
What little technologies changed the course of history? What in the
thinking of McLuhan, Mumford, Innis, Ong, Fuller, Ellul, Wiener, et al
can help us make sense of today and tomorrow's worlds? Who is doing
comparable thinking today? Does it make a difference if those thoughts
are spoken at conferences, published in journals, available on web pages
or listservs like this? To what degree are our media out of our
control? Will MP3 recordings obsolesce the music business? Is DNA a
digital medium?
Send a 100-word abstract that delves into the above or any related
topic to Paul Levinson at PaulLevinson@compuserve.com by April 1.
Be prepared to jump into the fray with a 15-25 page paper on the subject
by June 1. Let us know if you'd like to be a discussant for papers by
other participants.
Proposals for panels, roundtables, workshops, or other kinds of special
sessions are also welcome.
Join us we look around and take stock of ourselves, our media, and our
discipline at the dawn of the new millennium (or the year before,
depending upon your mathematical metaphysics).
The Media Ecology Association was founded in 1998, as a way to organize,
formalize, preserve, disseminate, and expand the study of how
communications, media, and technology make a difference in our lives,
our history, and our future. This will be our inaugural convention.
Inquiries and submissions are preferred via e-mail to
PaulLevinson@compuserve.com -- but can also be
directed as follows:
Professor Paul Levinson, Convention Coordinator
Department of Communication and Media Studies
Fordham University
Bronx, New York 10458

Please feel free to disseminate this notice -- by any and all media.

Subject: Call for participation: meeting on annotation
*** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ***
Large Corpus Annotation and Software Standards
Post-conference session held in conjunction with
ANLP/NAACL'00
Thursday, May 4, 2000, 1-6pm, Seattle, Washington
This meeting is intended to bring together researchers and developers
from a variety of domains in text, speech, video, etc., to look
broadly at the technical issues that bear on the development of
software systems and standards for the annotation and exploitation of
linguistic resources. The goal is to lay the groundwork for the
definition of a data and system architecture to support corpus
annotation and exploitation that can be widely adopted within the
community.
Among the issues to be addressed are:
o layered data architectures
o system architectures for distributed databases
o support for plurality of annotation schemes
o impact and use of XML/XSL
o support for multimedia, including speech and video
o tools for creation, annotation, query and access of corpora
o mechanisms for linkage of annotation and primary data
o applicability of semi-structured data models, search and query
systems, etc.
o evaluation/validation of systems and annotations
The motivation for this meeting is the American National Corpus (ANC)
effort, which will begin corpus creation within the year. We
anticipate that the ANC will provide a significant resource for
natural language processing, and we therefore seek to identify
state-of-the-art methods for its creation, annotation, and
exploitation. Also, as a national and freely available resource, the
data and system architecture of the ANC is likely to become a de facto
standard. We therefore hope to draw together leading researchers and
developers to establish a basis for the design of a system to support
the creation and use of the ANC.
At present, the format of the meeting is open, and we invite
suggestions for topics, presentations, etc. Those interested should
contact ide@cs.vassar.edu before April 1, 2000.

National Corpus effort will be held immediately following the discussion.
