Foreword
The advent of the Web has created a new landscape for the way organizations design and deploy their databases and applications. This has extended the scale of heterogeneity and autonomy of these databases and applications to levels not seen before. Concurrently, a new computing environment is being shaped through advances in service oriented architectures, mashups, and cloud computing. While connectivity is no longer an issue, judiciously organizing web databases and efficiently accessing them are raising a myriad of new research challenges. In particular, it is quite challenging to enable the tasks of finding, accessing, and querying a large number of autonomous and heterogeneous databases which have not been designed to interoperate in such an open environment. Because Web services are increasingly being used as the technology of choice to access Web databases and build applications on the Web, it is imperative to build a new query infrastructure with would enable their deployment and expansion on the Internet, thus providing users with tools to efficiently access and share Web services. In this excellent book, the authors presented an intuitive and scalable approach to organize and access Web databases. The basic idea is that Web databases can be simply organized based on the different topics related to their content. This creates a distributed ontology of Web databases that are easily explored and queried. Users are provided with tools to find databases of interest to query them without the effort that is usually required in dea
