Databases and the World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is likely to become the standard platform for future generation applications. Specifically, it will be the uniform interface for sharing data in networks, both Internet and intranet. From a database point of view, there are two main directions of interest: the first one is related to the extraction of information from the Web (possibly in order to manage it by means of database techniques and tools) and second to the database support (again in terms of both methods and tools) to the management of data to be offered through the Web. A major, preliminary issue is the method used for the description of data, where the discussion between structured and semistructured approaches. Interesting developments will probably by stimulated by the advent of XML.
