SCOPE
 
RIDE-MLIS'2003 is the thirteenth workshop in a series of annual workshops on
Research Issues in Data Engineering (RIDE), which have been held in conjunction
with the IEEE CS International Conferences on Data Engineering.
In 2003, RIDE focuses on Multi-lingual Information Management.
 
Multi-lingual information consists of data, text, or
documents containing words from more than one language.
 The need for multi-lingual information management is
driven by the proliferation of the Internet, the
globalization of corporations, the development of
virtual organizations, and the increasing use of
multi-lingual digital media.
The objective of RIDE-MLIS'2003 is to bring together
 researchers, industrial practitioners, developers,
and users to exchange results and ideas on issues
related to Multi-lingual Information Management.
