LWDM 2014 - International Workshop on Linked Web Data Management (LWDM)

The joint application of data management and Semantic Web competencies, through the design of new models, languages and tools, has turned out to be very useful to enable the use of the Web as a huge, interlinked, dynamic repository of linked resources. The fruitful combination of knowledge coming from data management, Semantic Web and Linked Data fields enables also to better exploit the Web 2.0 potential, where people and applications discover new linked information in an unexpected way, according to an explorative perspective, moving through linked sources of knowledge. The fourth edition of the International Workshop on Linked Web Data Management (LWDM) maintains the same goal of the first three editions, aiming at stimulating participants to discuss about data management issues related to the Linked Data and the relationships with other Semantic Web technologies, and at the same time proposes a glance at new issues. The LWDM Workshop invites researchers, engineers, service developers to present their research and works in the field of Linked Web of Data. Papers may deal with methods, models, case studies, practical experiences and technologies and also work in progress solutions.
