User-oriented information integration workshop, Riga, Latvia
6 October 2011 - 6 October 2011
Latvia
A workshop on user-oriented information integration will be held from 6 to 8 October 2011 in Riga, Latvia.
There are two main approaches to information integration - virtualisation and materialisation. With the former, data is stored in data sources and integration is virtual using a global schema which contains data source attributes. The latter sees data integrated, transformed and stored according to a data warehouse schema. Regardless of the integration approach, however, there is a problem that a user is provided with a huge amount of information.
Regardless of whether the virtualisation or materialisation approach is being used, the goal of the user-oriented information integration is to bring together these two parties - users and information, considering the requirement for information, rather than information supply as a key factor.
The main goal of the workshop is to discuss the relevant methods to specify the user actual information needs from many different data sources with huge amount of data, model and develop solutions to satisfy these needs.For further information, please visit: http://www.lu.lv/uoii/(opens in new window)
