The talks directly address issues specific to Cultural Heritage materials, and the techniques they address are relevant to anyone dealing with large quantities of legacy content that may not conform to expectations for new new content. In other words, problems experienced by most people working with document collections. 

Topics include: 
- dealing with document fragments and fragmentary annotations
- aligning text to images and the character level
- interoperable cross-references using TEI
- converting metadata from legacy formats to web formats
- representing and storing metadata for long-term use
