There are four main articles in Ariadne 19:

**Matthew Dovey outlines an Object Oriented approach to metadata in
Meta-Objects.
**An article on Web Research  summarizes work being carried out at the
University of West of England, in
conjunction with Hewlett Packard laboratories, to develop automated
techniques for browsing video content. The content used for illustration
comes from "The Wrong Trousers", the second Wallace and Gromit  film by Nick
Park.
**Mary Rowlatt describes SEAMLESS, a UK based project concerned with the
production
of community information.
**John MacColl explores the IMS (Instructional Management Systems) concept
in the context of the
SELLIC project (UK)

Ariadne 19 contains a number of new "Regular Columns", including:

**Tony Grant in  "Minotaur" explains why a former Macintosh fan has embraced
Linux and the Open Source
Software movement.
**A column on how the world looks to a Web Editor is provided by Stephen
Emmott.
** Ian Webb of the DISinHE Centre (UK) introduces a column which will
feature
accessibility and IT issues with a description of the DISinHE Centre - an
initiative funded by JISC
**George Neisser describes a JISC service (UK) - the JANET National Web
Cache. George's "Caching In" column will cover a variety of issues related
to web caching.
**Phil Bradley provides " Search Engine Corner".
**Planet SOSIG continues and the OMNI column returns, both with a
broader remit to include news on developments on the Internet relating to
Social Sciences and Biomedical Engineering respectively. In addition
we welcome Biz/Ed Bulletin and the EEVL Eye On Engineering which feature
news of the Biz/Ed and EEVL information gateways and more
general news on Internet developments in Business and Economics and
Engineering.


Under the "Get Tooled Up" heading we have:

**Brett Bailey introduces the "Windows NT Explorer" column by describing
Microsoft's Site Server indexing tool.
**Brian Kelly's Web Focus article describes how to extend web
browsers.
**"Unix Corner": Brian Kelly describes how open source software such as
Apache, PHP and IMP can be used to provide web-based access to email.
**Ian Peacock and Brian Kelly review the WebWatch project and summarise the
main findings.
**Eddie Young explains "Apache" in our regular "What Is...?" column.


In addition, there are two at the events reports: one by Christine Dugdale
on the BOBCATSSS conference earlier this year in Bratislava; and
another by Philip Hunter on the Electronic Libraries (eLib) "Information
Ecologies" conference in York (UK) which took place last December, and
which explored a number of hybrid library, subject Gateway and copyright
control issues.
