Workshop on
Information Integration on the Web
in conjunction with WWW 2006
http://iiweb2006.cs.uiuc.edu
http://www2006.org/
May 23rd 2006, Edinburgh Scotland
The explosive growth of the Web has amassed a huge number of
information sources on the Internet with unprecedented potential for
accessibility. In particular, in recent years, the Web has
been rapidly deepened with the prevalence of databases and enriched
with structured (or semi-structured) data online. While there are Web
sources relevant to virtually any user's query, the morass of sources
presents a formidable hurdle to effectively finding such sources,
querying them, and aggregating across sources.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers in a
variety of areas that are all related to the larger problem of
information integration on the Web. We aim to promote the awareness of
large scale integration on the Web, discuss research directions and
agenda, share experience and insights, and build a joint community
across disciplines for data and application benchmarks.
The workshop will discuss research problems for Web-based information
integration, with a focus on dynamic and large scale
integration. These topics include, but are not limited to:
* Novel integration architectures
* Data and application benchmarks
* Information extraction
* Schema matching
* Wrapper learning and generation
* Information gathering
* View integration
* Source discovery
* Source descriptions and meta-data learning
* Source statistics learning
* Web-based query execution and optimization
* Web service composition
* Record linkage and object consolidation
* Resolving inconsistency across sources
* Data mining for integration.
The workshop will consist of a combination of paper presentations,
posters, panels, invited talks and discussion sessions.
