8. The success of the Web is leading to many new challenges and opportunities in the area of
data management. It has lead to new data formats such as XML and RDF which require
specific storage and management techniques that are different from those needed for
classical relational data. It has also lead to new ways of efficiently integrating and
transforming existing data sources such that it can be efficiently published on the Web. On
the other hand, techniques have been developed to integrate data already available on the
Web to enrich your own data. In this case different issues become more important such as
the fact that the data is more distributed, in more different formats, both structured and
semi-structured, and the matching criteria for connecting the data from the different
sources is far less obvious. Also completely new ways of dealing with data have evolved,
such as the Semantic Web, which entails the problem of meta-data management, and
Linked Open Data, which allows the publication of your own data such that it can be easily
linked with other data that is published in the same way. In this symposium we intend to
address some developments in both industry and the academic world that will lead to new
opportunities for enterprise applications.
