DBFusion 2002
2nd International Workshop on Databases, Documents, and Information
Fusion
Information Integration and Mining
in Databases and on the Web
July 4-5, 2002
University of Karlsruhe, Germany
FZI Research
Center for Information Technologies

Despite
major progress in recent years, the problem of information discovery and
integration is still a significant challenge. It affects questions like
ensuring actuality and credibility of data, efficient querying distributed sources,
converting insufficient structured data as well as combining data from
different sources and is addressed by
various current research areas, ranging from data integration and mining to
knowledge engineering and ontologies.
The
combination of techniques from these areas, e.g., using domain knowledge in
data integration or mining, could lead to new applications as well as to
improvements of current approaches to data integration and fusion.
To meet
this challenge the workshop is designed to bring together researchers working
in the areas of databases, ontologies and information fusion, and to foster
collaboration among them.
The main
topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
