The activities of the group include:
- exchanging ideas on possible research approaches, workflows, algorithms and best practices for automated subject indexing
- collecting and providing information on existing tools, corpora and other resources that are openly available
- working on reusable and interoperable open source tools and coordinating the various development efforts of do-it-yourself solutions within the community
- issuing recommendations for the standardization of APIs and file formats for data exchange, and for more detailed metadata schemata in order to support and document automated methods in subject indexing.
