DM: Re: Information Systems. Special Issue on Data Cleaning

Maurizio,

I am not in a position to contribute to this journal, but would be very
interested in the results. Will table of contents/ abstracts be available
online?

Regards,

Gavin

 > The problem of integrating data coming from multiple heterogeneous
 > sources has been the subject of many investigations in the last years.
 > Information integration is a very complex problem, and is relevant in
 > several fields, such as Data Re-engineering, Data Warehouses, Web
 > Information Systems, E-commerce, Scientific Databases, etc. Within
 > information integration, the task of extracting, cleaning, and
 > reconciling data coming from multiple sources requires substantial
 > efforts and resources. Despite its importance, this task is often
 > underestimated by the scientific and the research community. Existing
 > tools often deal with one of the numerous aspects of the problem, but a
 > global, conceptual, perspective harmonizing all the facets of the
 > problem is still missing. As a result, many applications are based on
 > ad-hoc approaches, which are difficult to share and compare.
 >
 > The purpose of this special issue is to present well-founded approaches
 > to the problem of data extraction, cleaning and reconciliation. In
 > particular, we encourage submissions that compare the proposed
 > approaches  (through experiments or through proofs) with existing tools,
 > in order to point out the advantages of a scientific approach to the
 > problem, and the possibility for the
 > technology to improve the current solutions.  Topics addressed by this
 > special issue include:
 >
 > - Architectures, methodologies and tools for data extraction, cleaning,
 > and reconciliation
 > - Data extaction, cleaning, and reconciliation in Data Warehousing and
 > Information Systems Re-engineering
 > - Data extraction, cleaning, and reconciliation in the Web
 > - Extraction, cleaning, and reconciliation of semistructured data
 > - Optimization techniques in data extraction, cleaning, and
 > reconciliation
 > - Reviews of existing tools
 > - Methodologies, languages, and tools for dealing with data
 > inconsistencies
 > - Quality factors in data extraction, cleaning, and reconciliation
 > - Experiences in data extraction, cleaning, and reconciliation
 >
 > Information Systems. An International Journal is a premier journal for
 > the publication of research results in the design and implementation of
 > languages, data models, software and hardware for information systems.
 > Subject areas include data management issues as presented in the
 > principal international database conferences (eg ACM SIGMOD, ACM PODS,
 > VLDB and EDBT) as well as data-related issues from the fields of
 > knowledge-based systems, information retrieval, programming languages,
 > and organizational behavior.
 >
 > We welcome both research and experience papers for this special issue.
 > Full-length versions of papers that have been published in recent
 > peer-reviewed conferences in databases and information systems are also
 > welcome. Papers should be 10000 to 15000 words long.
