Information Dynamics, Perspectives, and Risks

The complexity of 21 st Century society is demonstrated in a dynamic information environment that is fuelled by the expanding digital world. This demands an effective information management approach that supports reliable information provision, worker collaboration, and satisfies business intelligence initiatives that drive marketing strategies. The Web and databases are now inextricably entwined and new solutions need to be identified that can provide more effective access to billions of data sources. Emerging Semantic Web technologies may be a solution on the horizon and may help to address the potential integration challenge and risks.
