Question answering promises an important new way of information access for all. There are several significant question answering activities underway including the ARDA AQUAINT Program, a TREC QA track, the ARDA NRRC summer 2002 workshops on temporal and multiple perspective question answering (nrrc.mitre.org), and an LREC 2002 workshop to develop a question answering roadmap. In spite of many activities, the potential richness of question answering has still only been partially investigated in terms of the variety richness of sources (e.g., multilingual, multimedia), potential range of processing possibilities, the hope for new applications (e.g., question answering for help desks, manuals), and possible methods of presentation.
