The CENTRE DE HAUTES ETUDES INTERNATIONALES
D'INFORMATIQUE DOCUMENTAIRE (C.I.D.) was created in 1979 in Paris. It is a
Learned Society, formed as not-for-profit organisation (Association loi de
1901).
The
Centre has always concentrated its activity on all aspects of computer
treatment of non-structured information. In contrast to structured
information found in classical databases, we have been concerned with
exploiting the information content of unstructured media (text, image,
sound, video…).
The
activity of the C.I.D. relies on a number of content-based information
specialists, French or foreign, some of which are permanent scientific
members of the association and some of which are called upon from time to
time by the C.I.D. to produce a report, or to participate in colloquia, in
debates, in the C.I.D.-organized RIAO conferences, etc., according to their
specialities.

STUDIES, REPORTS
The C.I.D. carries out studies for public authorities and for private
organizations and companies.
The
C.I.D. also produces studies of content-based information requirements for
organizations, associations, companies, or professional groups, proposing
improvements to existing systems and suggestions for new systems. It has
developed specific "on-site" investigation methods which have
been favourably received and which yield a variety of possible answers to
problems found.
INNOVATION TRIBUNES
The C.I.D. offers researchers and innovating companies a variety of
"tribunes" for presenting prototypes or innovative products
either during the RIAO conferences, or during other exhibitions such as the
Vidcom of Cannes, or during international fairs such as Frankfurt, London ONLINE, or
during other colloquia organized by the C.I.D.
PUBLICATIONS
The C.I.D. has published a quarterly review since 1980. It also publishes
