First International Workshop on Open Data, Nantes, France

The First International Workshop on Open Data will take place on 25 May 2012 in Nantes, France. Open data comprises not only text and semi-structured data, but also open multi-modal contents, including music, images, and videos. With the increasing amount of data that is published by governments, international organisations and scientific communities under open data policies, new challenges are arising as this data becomes available. So far, resolving these issues has only been partially addressed by different researchers from such various fields as databases, data mining and knowledge management, distributed systems, data privacy, and data visualisation. This event will be a forum to gather researchers and practitioners who are contributing to and interested in the emerging field of managing open data.For further information, please visit: http://sites.google.com/site/opendata2012/(opens in new window)
