    Submission deadline: April 10, 2007 

  Sponsors: Microsoft Research, Yahoo!
============================================================================================

This workshop will focus on the topic of effectively integrating
structured and 
unstructured information on the Web. As information integration is
interdisciplinary 
in nature, its researchers have spanned the related areas of data
mining, machine learning,
databases, information retrieval, semantic Web, Web services, and
others.  

We invite researchers working in areas related to Web-based
information integration 
to participate. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

		 * Novel integration architectures
		 * Source discovery and deep-web crawling
		 * Automatic wrapper induction
		 * Schema matching
		 * Web entity extraction
		 * Record linkage and object consolidation
		 * Named entity extraction
		 * Source descriptions and meta-data learning
		 * Web based query execution and optimization
		 * DB & IR integration
		 * Data mining for integration
		 * Applications
