Ariadne Web Magazine http://www.ariadne.ac.uk Ariadne is a Web magazine for information professionals in archives, libraries and museums in all sectors. Since its inception in January 1996 it has attempted to keep the busy practitioner abreast of current digital library initiatives as well as technological developments further afield. It concentrated originally on reporting in depth to the information community at large on progress and developments within the UK Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib), covering matters such as information service developments and information networking issues worldwide. It now additionally reports on newer JISC-funded programmes and services as well as developments in the field of Museums, Libraries and Archives within the UK and abroad. en-gb (C) 1996-2007 - Ariadne (University of Bath) and original authors 2007-10-30 ariadne@ukoln.ac.uk Ariadne logo http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/icon/small-icon.gif http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/ The National Centre for Text Mining: A Vision for the Future http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue53/ananiadou/ Sophia Ananiadou describes NaCTeM and the main scientific challenges it helps to solve together with issues related to deployment, use and uptake of NaCTeM's text mining tools and services.
