Special Issue of Transactions on Computational Collective Intelligence journal  on Keyword Search and Big Data


The simplicity with which users can publish content nowadays has made the Web the world’s largest database. Keyword-based search has become the de-facto standard for information discovery in this ocean of data, mainly due to its simplicity that makes it attractive to technically novice users. To answer keyword queries, existing search engines rely on effective indexes of the content that allow them to return the documents that best match the user’s search criteria. This generally leaves out the structure of the data, its semantic dimension, as well as the social aspects to which it may relate. We believe that, in order to exploit the full potential of the Web, structured and rich data will have to receive the same search and retrieve capabilities as the text data from Web documents. However, due to their highly structured nature, the rich semantics, and the data structures by which they are typically managed, a great deal of issues needs to be studied. As the problem is in general of a multifaceted nature, it requires synergies from many different disciplines.

Broad areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

Semantic web, semantic similarity, semantic data management, semantic disambiguation, semantic indexing;
Social Web and social media;
Interface design, user interaction, natural language processing;
Data cleansing, data fusion, data quality, data integration, probabilistic data matching;
Benchmarking, ranking;
Artificial intelligence, machine learning;
Metadata management, schema matching;
Deep Web, provenance, information retrieval, database summarization
Context-aware web applications;
Knowledge / ontology self-management and evolution;
Semantic Web and emotional intelligence;
Enabling everything-as-a-user.
