Introduction
The spectrum of Web technology and applications covered by the conference
workshops demonstrates that the WWW7 is truly the gathering place for anyone
interested in the World Wide Web. Some workshops focus on advancing the
base technology with such topics as HTTP, XSL and XML, and, the emerging
area of Web engineering. Other workshops focus on important application
areas, such as libraries and on-line training and education. A third set
of workshops focus on pressing social issues such as disability access
and

Workshop selection After registering for the conference including the Workshop day, registrants should select the workshop in which they wish to participate. Please note that any workshop which does not have sufficient participants registered mid-March may be cancelled. Any registrant who has selected such a workshop will be offered the choice of another workshop (or tutorial) or a refund on that day's registration. Workshop selection can be made and changed up using the workshop selection form until Thursday April 8. Swapping between workshops (and tutorials) will not be permitted on the day, April 14. Such swapping has in the past has proved too disruptive.
Workshop detailsBelow is a list of the workshops planned for WWW7. The links provide a brief summary and the URL for more information on the specific workshop including contact details and a call for submissions. Missing URLs will be filled in when they become known. Reuse of Web-based Information
This workshop will focus on the reuse of information that is currently delivered over the Web. By reuse, we mean the assembling of information from Web-based sources, and the restructuring of that information to either build a new Web application or to import it into a non-Web-based application, such as a database. Chair: Anne Marie Vercoustre, Anne-Marie.Vercoustre@inria.fr One of the primary challenges ahead for the primary industries is the development of cohesive and timely information retrieval systems that allow the free-flow of information between producer, processor and consumer. These groups are both users and suppliers of information vital to the advancement of all agricultural production systems. Communication breakdowns occur when where one or more partners fail to either provide or receive access to information. The Internet improves accessibility to information and services and allows the added option of sale by description and other facets of electronic commerce. Through the WWW, there is better sharing of information, enhancement of communication between providers and users, and an expansion of the availability of specialised information resources and provides broader opportunities to access global information in a quick and relatively inexpensive manner. The goal of the workshop is to learn from examining practical experiences
in WWW usage in agriculture. We will examine implications of WWW
and electronic commerce for agribusiness, case studies (examples of success
and otherwise), education and training, social impact, information provision,
information use, and, Intranets.
This workshop introduces and promotes a new term and discipline called, WEB ENGINEERING. Web Engineering is concerned with establishment and use of sound scientific, engineering and management principles to the successful development and deployment of quality, trust-worthy, Web-based systems and applications. The objectives of this first workshop in this emerging new area are to assess the problems of Web-based application system development, to identify key Web engineering activities and to propose approaches and methods for systematic development of Web-based applications. It would also review ongoing work in this area, discuss a few case studies and the best and worst practices, and pave directions for further work. Chair: San Murugesan, s.murugesan@uws.edu.au

The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers and developers working on designing extensible object frameworks for the World-Wide Web and those interested in utilizing these frameworks to apply a data-modeling approach to Web site construction. This workshop is meant to be a follow-up to the WWW6 Workshop on Object-Oriented Web Servers and Data Modeling(see"http://www.pww.pencom.com/metamagic/ workshop97/") that was organized in Santa Clara, CA in the spring of 1997. The desired result of the new workshop is to encourage and enhance cooperation between researchers and developers in the area. Chair: Leon Shklar, leon@pencom.com This workshop is intended as an inter-disciplinary exploration into flexible hypertext systems. Flexible hypertext systems are systems which can present different users with different views of the same hypertext network, or which can dynamically create the hypertext network and the content of the documents at the nodes of that network at run-time. This workshop aims to draw together a number of research groups taking different approaches to flexible hypertext systems, in order to promote the cross-fertilisation of ideas and highlight the prospects for future collaboration. Chair: Maria Milosavljevic, mariam@mpce.mq.edu.au
The "Hypertext Functionality and the WWW" workshop is the fourth workshop in a series on Hypertext Functionality (HTF) which in the past were held in conjunction with the ACM Hypertext Conferences. The first three HTF workshops concentrated on the identification and organization of hypertext functionalities that could form the core of hypertext systems in a wide variety of application areas. This workshop will examine issues related to the incorporation of advanced hypertext functionality into web-based applications. Co-chairs:
This workshop will explain the need for XSL and gather input for the W3C XSL activity. Chair: Jon Bosak, jon.bosak@eng.sun.com The potential impact of the Web on learning is enormous. The use of the Web to deliver teaching/training material online is now commonplace and many tools exist to support teachers and trainers. The use of discussion mechanisms, both synchronous and asynchronous, is also widespread, but fewer, purely educational tools exist to support this type of activity. Web-based assessment and evaluation is becoming more important and tools are also being developed in this area. This workshop will bring together practitioners from both the academic and the commercial worlds to discuss the issues surrounding learning with the Web. The workshop will produce a "state of the art" review and possibly predict future trends. Co-chairs:
As we see today the global search engines giving too many and non-trustable results, the need for serious, updated and restricted catalogues is becoming totally obvious. The world of librarians is changing and they have to get fully involved in the Web technologies. This is the only way to move towards the "Universal Library". The objective of this workshop is to gather people involved in creating
