Andrea Calì (Birkbeck College, University of London) Sala riunioni, first floor, Dipartimento di Ingegneria, Via della Vasca Navale 79, 00149 Roma, Italy On Friday, March 01, 2016 From 2pm noon to 3pm "Querying the Deep Web: old and new perspectives" Abstract: The Deep Web is constituted by data that are accessible on the web, typically through HTML forms, but are not indexable by search engines due to their static nature. Processing queries on Deep Web data poses significant challenges as data sources cannot be normally accessed with arbitrary queries. In this talk we illustrate techniques for processing queries on the Deep Web and we survey some of the core problems underlying this task. We then propose a novel framework for identifying relevant sources in this context..
