Focus: Data Issues in Services and Service Integration

============================================================================================

Submission deadline: March 6, 2009
============================================================================================

This workshop, seventh in the IIWeb series, is focused on making the research in information
integration on the web more relevant to the challenges in services. We will give special emphasis
to how this can be applied to services and service integration. After information is extracted and integrated,
how should it be organized? How can we build or exploit models. taxonomies or ontologies;
trust models for information on the web, service specification in multi-model environment,
searching for services, impact of data changes on composition and runtime adaptation,
scale-up of methods to web levels.

We invite researchers working in all areas related to source/service integration
to participate. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Novel Web source/service integration architectures
* Service Specification, Composition and Description
* Source/service discovery and deep-web crawling
* Automatic wrapper induction
* Schema matching
* Web entity extraction
* Record linkage and object consolidation
* Named entity extraction
* Source/service meta-data learning
* DB & IR integration
* Data mining for integration
* Applications
