The Conferences Database
contains conference and meeting
announcements.
Although it is possible to download conference descriptions
using anonymous FTP or anonymous RCP,
use of the Conferences button
on the Xnetlib client, or opening
http://netlib2.cs.utk.edu/confdb/Conferences.html
using a forms-capable World Wide Web browser,
allows searching separately by
title, dates, location, or description keywords, as well as
viewing of the results in a window. Conferences
may be submitted from the Xnetlib client or from a
forms-capable World Wide Web browser.
The contents of the title, location, and description fields
are added to a full-text index when a conference
is entered into the database.
A geographical database handles location name aliases
and hierarchical geographical relationships.
