1^st International Workshop on New Frontiers on Metadata Management and Usage - in conjuction with ADBIS 2018(M2U 2018)

September 02-05, 2018, Budapest, Hungary

Scope & Topics

Metadata in the context of large scale distributed systems and Big Data technologies both play a central role and raise new research issues that attract the attention of researchers and practitioners. Large scale systems and Big Data make integration approaches all the more challenging, with the resurgence of virtual and dynamic approaches based on rich metadata and semantics (think, for instance, of Data Lakes). Also, discovery of relevant sources, sharing and reuse, and data quality strongly rely on metadata. Furthermore, data exploration, description and summarization is becoming a key facility to make sense of a huge amount of data and let users learn from them. This applies to both unstructured and structured data. For unstructured datasets, which are commonly estimated to make up roughly 80% of data currently generated, the challenge is to find scalable and semi-automated methods for generating the metadata required for data indexing, retrieving and analyzing that data. At the same time, the description of complex information such as strategies, goals and requirements, contracts, and processes call for expressive models that are able to represent complex metadata relationships.
