Existing Web
infrastructures such as
the Semantic Web, Linking Data Projects and Semantic Grids have
supported the
publication of a tremendous amount of resources. In order to provide
users with
the capability of using available resources in their day-to-day tasks,
scalable
infrastructures and efficient techniques to discover, select and access
resources are required. Semantic descriptions of functionally and
quality of
resources as well as user preferences, play an important role in the
achievement of this goal.
A resource may be a data
repository, a
database management system, a linked data endpoint, a link between
resources, a
semantic wiki, or a Web service. Resources are characterized by core
information
including a name, a description of its functionality, its URLs, and
various
additional Quality of Service parameters that express its
non-functional
characteristics. Resource discovery
is the process of identifying, locating and selecting existing
resources that
satisfy specific functional and non-functional requirements. Current
research
includes crawling, indexing, ranking, clustering, and rewriting
techniques, for
collecting and consuming the resources for a specific request.
The Fourth International
Workshop on Resource
Discovery aims at bringing together researchers from the database,
artificial
intelligence and semantic web areas, to discuss research issues and
experiences
in developing and deploying concepts, techniques and applications
addressing
various issues related to resource discovery. Papers presenting either
theoretical or applicative material are expected. This fourth edition
will
focus on techniques to efficiently collect and consume resources that
are
semantically described. Approaches for query rewriting in Databases,
service
selection and composition in Service Oriented Architectures, and for
processing
queries against Linked Data, can contribute to solve the resource
discovery
problem, and are of special interest.
