Hi Suzi, By "educational outreach to the wider web community" I mean to continue what we are doing with a web site that is outward focused, with it resources...
To promote better quality web site indexes, the Web Indexing SIG would like to encourage the use of this discussion group for obtaining feedback from others on...
Dear SIG Members, I need two persons to assist with coordinating the Web Indexing SIG Award. It would be good to have the first award in December; this will...
Hi Mike, Thanks. I was aware of your recent article on HTML Indexer, which I read on your site, but I had not paid close enough attention to the site index...
Heather suggested that I forward this e-mail to the list and ask about the field of XML indexing. Who does it? What is usually involved? Should w expand the ...
I say a definite yest to expansion to include other markup languages. We need to keep pace with the web/internet industry and what better place to share and...
As a web programmer, I think using something like XML is a good choice. The rules that govern HTML are lax and require more logic to process the documents. ...
Yes, I too agree that it would be a good idea to expand the scope of the this disucssion group and the scope of the associated Web Indexing SIG of the American...
I've written a basic introduction to XML which novices might find useful - it's at http://www.webindexing.biz/articles/XML.htm But asking 'what is XML...
Heather and colleagues, I write just over a dozen indexes a year in XML and would be happy to put a little something together. I intended to do this earlier ...
As the replies so far indicate, the question of XML technology being added to the scope of the SIG depends on whether we focus on technology (markup languages)...
Hi Sara, This has been a very interesting thread and it would be great if you wrote on article on this. We look at the possibility of extending the scope of...
Larry, I am collecting all the discussion on expanding the focus of the list, and will put it to a vote among members shortly. It is nice to see so much ...

Yes, technically indexing of web pages is a form of embedded indexing. But the software tools for web site indexing and embedded indexing of print or...
Hi Mike, I've just had a quick look and I think it looks great. Very neat and compact, but apparently thorough. I clicked on 'moire' because I didn't know what...
Hi Jimmy, When you write 'contains an index for XML', I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Is this referring to a search-engine style index in which every word...
... Looks like it's an automatic "indexing" tool rather than an index. <quote> VTD-XML is the next generation XML parser/Indexer [...] The world's first...
Hi Sara, Thanks. This XML indexing doesn't sound that close to web site indexing, though. Whether we expand the scope of the Web Indexing SIG is still open to ...
'contains an index for XML' just means 'sorts XML'. It sorts stuff (words, phrases, etc.) that has an XML tag, as with a concordance. It does not create a...
For those getting started in freelance web site indexing and would like some practice and exposure, there is a web site index that I had created for the...
Heather, I would consider doing this. Have you found anybody? I studied indexing in library school at Simmons and would be glad to dig into something like...
I understand that the form of XML indexing I'm currently doing is not web indexing and therefore may not be of interest to members of this group. Although, I...
I think it would be beneficial for most of us on this list if you did go forward with the XML write-up, Sara. And thanks for writing such a generous message. ...
Hi Sara, I think the discussions over the past few days highlight the fact that some members of the Web Indexing SIG, me included are quite interested in XML ...
