Third International Workshop on Resource Discovery, Paris, France
The event aims to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners to discuss research issues and experience in developing and deploying concepts, applications, and solutions addressing various issues related to resource discovery.
A resource corresponds to an information source such as a data repository or database management system (e.g. a query form or a textual search engine), a link between resources (an index or hyperlink), or a service such as an application or tool. Resources are characterised by core information including a name, a description of its input and its output, an address, and various additional properties expressed as metadata.
Resource discovery is the process of identifying and locating existing resources that have a particular property. Machine-based resource discovery relies on crawling, clustering, and classifying resources discovered on the internet automatically. Resources are organised with respect to metadata that characterise content, semantics, characteristics, performance, quality and so on. Resource discovery systems allow the expression of queries to identify and locate resources.For further information, please visit: http://www.ldc.usb.ve/RED2010/(opens in new window)
