ABSTRACT:
The Deep Web is constituted by data that are accessible on the web,
typically through HTML forms, but are not indexable by search engines
due to their static nature. Processing queries on
Deep Web data poses significant challenges as data sources cannot be
normally accessed with arbitrary queries. In this talk we illustrate
techniques for processing structured as well as keyword queries on the
Deep Web and we survey some of the core problems underlying the query
processing task.
