The ERCIM World Wide Web Working Group (ERCIM-W4G)

and there will be plenty of time for discussions.

This will be the fourth workshop in a series which has previously
addressed WWW protocols and standards (CWI, Amsterdam,
Autumn '94), authoring tools (INRIA, Rocquencourt, Winter '95),
and searching and active documents (VTT, Helsinki, Summer '95).
