Abstract
In our first participation in clef retrieval tasks, the primary objective was to define a general stopword list for various European languages (namely, French, Italian, German and Spanish) and also to suggest simple and efficient stemming procedures for these languages. Our second aim was to suggest a combined approach that could facilitate effective access to multilingual collections.
