Information integration technology has been a fertile ground for research over the past two decades and has led to a number of commercially available products. However, the call for papers for this workshop rightly questions why the use of this technology is not as widely adopted as one might expect in this information age. In this paper, we take the position that the answer to this question li...

We are currently witnessing an explosion in the amount of information that is available on-line (e.g., sources on the Internet, company-wide intranets, etc). Providing easy and efficient access to this information—known as the problem of data integration raises an important challenge to several fields of Computer Science including Database Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Operating Systems, Ne...

Information integration is becoming a critical problem for both businesses and individuals. The data, especially the one that comes from the Web, is naturally incomplete, that is, some data values may be unknown or lost because of communication problems, hidden due to privacy considerations. At the same time research in (virtual) integration in the community focusses on null-free sources and ad...

The goal of this deliverable is the development of applications in collaboration with Working Group A2 “Bioinformatics”. Some such applications of reactive web frameworks and languages developed in I5 have been made. In particular, using the r framework we have developed two applications in close collaboration with A2 members: the B-Domain application and the PubMed Reactive Classifier. Other a...
