Fourth International Workshop on Database Technologies for Handling XML Information on the Web DataX'09 Colocated with EDBT/ICDT'09 March 22, 2009, Saint-Petersburg, Russia ")http://homes.dico.unimi.it/~datax/09) Following the main themes of the EDBT conference, data management constitutes the essential enabling technology for scientific, engineering, business, and social communities. Peer-to-peer architectures, the Grid, personal information systems, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, networked sensors, biomedical informatics, virtual digital libraries, semantic virtual communities, database services and trust management are examples of the great challenges that drive research and development of the next generation of database technology. Our belief is that XML is the main means towards this new generation of data management systems. Following the experience of previous editions of DataX ")http://homes.dico.unimi.it/datax), in DataX 2009 we will discuss new and interesting applications, and the integration of XML and database technologies. The goal of the workshop is to bring together academics, practitioners, users and vendors to discuss recent achievements, relevant problems and open issues on the boundary of database and XML technologies in all these environments. The workshop will provide the opportunity to debate new issues and outline directions for research and development. Topics ------ We invite contributions from researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Use of XML in Dataspaces * Methodology and tools for XML schema and DTD design * Interchange and integration of XML data * Semantic interoperability on the Web * XML retrieval in P2P systems * Metrics and quality measures for XML documents and schemas * Storage and compression of XML data * Indexing and retrieval of XML data * Query processing over XML data * Benchmarks and performance using XML/Web-databases * Security and privacy of XML exchange * XML for bioinformatics * Outsourced XML databases * Convergence of XML and other disciplines (like decision support, information retrieval, and Semantic Web) Paper Submission and Publication -------------------------------- Workshop submissions must be in electronic form using Portable Document Format (.pdf), or PostScript (.ps). Papers must not exceed 8 pages in length. Papers must be formatted according to the ACM proceedings format, using one of the templates listed at the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates web site (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Papers should not be already published or under revision elsewhere. All submitted papers will be judged on their quality and relevance. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop to present the work. Accepted papers will be distributed to the participants as workshop notes (electronic form). Post-proceedings of the revised papers (namely accepted papers presented at the workshop integrated with reviewers' and workshop participants' comments) will be published by ACM Digital Libraries.
