This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Workshop of the Initiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval, INEX 2007, held at Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in December 2007.The 37 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for presentation at the workshop from 50 initial submissions. The papers are organized in an ad hoc track and 6 topical sections on book search, XML-mining, entity ranking, interactive, link-the-wiki, and multimedia.
Diet and fertility
Infertility and subfertility affect a significant part of the population. Among various definitions of this pathology, the most ommon one is provided by the World Health Organization; it says that infertility is 'a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourses. The global prevalence of infertility is about 50-70 million couples. Since the process of human reproduction involves a large number of factors, a broad spectrum of infertility tests might be applied. Some of the tests focus directly on the pregnancy, some are only partially effective, whereas others should not be recommended for infertile couples.
Creating New Learning Experiences on a Global Scale ; 2nd European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, EC-TEL 2007, Crete, Greece, September 17-20, 2007, Proceedings
It is holding more than 500 pages of combined wisdom on Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) in your hands! With the advance of metadata, standards, learning objects, Web 2. 0 approaches to rip, mix and burn learning, wikis, blogs, syndication, user-generated content, W- based video, games and the ubiquitous availability of computing devices we can and have to offer more flexible learning services on a global scale.It provided a unique forum for all research related to technology enhanced learning, including its interactions with knowledge management, business processes and work environments.
Location Based Services and TeleCartography
Provides for the first time a general overview of research activities related to location and map-based services. These activities have emerged over the last years, especially around issues of positioning, spatial modelling, cartographic communication as well as in the fields of ubiquitious cartography, geo-pervasive services, user-centered modelling and geo-wiki activities. Topics cover an enormous range with heterogenous relationships to the main book issues. Whilst contemporary cartography aims at looking at new and efficient ways for communicating spatial information the development and availability of technologies like mobile networking, mobile devices or short-range sensors lead to interesting new possibilities for achieving this aim.
