The expected
audience for the 2nd IQIS workshop includes researchers, engineers,
students and practitioners from the database, knowledge discovery, information
system engineering and statistics communities that have an interest in information
quality in database-backed information systems or data integration systems, and
in the various techniques of data preparation, detection of inconsistent and
contradictory data, data cleaning, and in extraction, transformation and
loading systems.
Database researchers are
expected to be interested in information quality topics and are supposed to be
the majority of the audience. Also
people from governments and statistic institutes could be interested in
participating to IQIS. Indeed, information quality is a big obstacle when
engaging e-government actions. Moreover, statisticians and data miners are also
interested to information quality issues, being the results of their activity
strictly determined by the quality of information that they collected. Practitioners and industrial people are
also candidate for attendance to IQIS second workshop. Information quality is a
big business, and current data quality problems cost
We believe that
the workshop topics will attract attention of regular SIGMOD Conference
attendees who are interested in data management, but potentially also
interested in database techniques for data cleaning, preparation, and
integration with the information quality-aware problematic.
