. KRDB-2001 will focus on
Modeling, Querying and Managing Semistructured Data
Semistructured data are data that are self-describing, irregular, and with a
structure that is partially known, or subject to frequent changes. They are
usually formalized in terms of labeled graphs, and capture data as found in
many application areas, such as web information systems, digital libraries,
and data integration. Database researchers are studying several aspects of
semistructured data, including how to model such data, how to query and
restructure them, and how to store and manage them. On the other hand, there
are many kinds of reasoning that can be carried out on semistructured data in
order to support the above tasks. For instance, the discovery of certain
regularity may help in deciding the appropriate storage structures in a
particular context, or, the fact that a certain schema subsumes another one
may help in comparing data coming from different sources, or in translating
data from a certain format to another one. The goal of the workshop is to
bring together people from the Database and the Knowledge Representation and
Reasoning communities, in order to compare different points of views and
various sets of techniques that can be used for the tasks related to
Modeling, Querying and Managing Semistructured Data.
Submission of papers
Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts not exceeding 8 pages (LaTeX
12-point article-style pages). An extended abstract can be a position paper
or a summary of a full paper. A position paper may be a viewpoint on a
controversial topic or a summary of lessons learned from recent research or
practical experience. An abstract of a full paper may be a description of a
new formalism, mechanism, or architecture, a product or prototype, an
application, or results of work in progress. The extended abstracts will be
reviewed with focus on relevance and potential contribution to discussions.
Email submissions as self-contained standard Postscript or PDF attachments
should be sent by May 20, 2001 to
Maurizio Lenzerini (lenzerini@dis.uniroma1.it)
Accepted papers will be printed in the workshop proceedings. The proceedings
will be electronically available at
http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/Publications/CEUR-WS. At the
workshop, a hard copy of the proceedings will be handed out to the
participants.
