Description:
Processing Web data poses new challenges for database and information-retrieval techologies. Among these challenges are: the
amounts of Web data; its relevance ranging from useless to highly useful sources; its heterogeneity ranging from plain text, to
structured documents, to sounds and images; the way data is generated, from static HTML pages to database queries, and its
unpredictability. Despite these challenges, today we can search the entire Web, mine significant portions of it, integrate data
from multiple Web data sources, and query Web data. New technologies, such as those based on the XML standard, are
aimed at enterprise-wide Web applications and data integration. Future applications will probably go much further. In this
two-day workshop, leading researchers at the forefront of database and Web research will give their visions of the future of
data processing on the Web.
