Description & Coverage
Description:

The Internet is already more widely deployed than any other computing system in history and continues to grow rapidly. New technologies, including high speed wide area network and improved software support for distribution, promise to make the Internet much more useful for general purpose distributed computing in the future. Web Information Systems is dedicated to the new era of information systems on web environments, due to not only the growing popularity of the web technology but also the roles that web technology play in modern information systems. The major elements of web information systems include XML technologies, web mining and querying, web-based information systems, information extraction, and web semantics.

Reviews & Statements

This book gives a good overview in topics included in the engineering process of web information systems. In advantage over other books in this field, it doesn't stick to programming only. It addresses advanced topics from interaction storyboards up to media migration and web mining. It is written for advanced software engineer students and teachers to look behind the scenes of web information systems. It is a pretty good resource for people who want to understand the complexity of large web-based systems. It is also essential reading for those who look for advanced research topics in the field.

This book is a complementary book suitable for readers who want to understand or build web information system. Readers may enhance their knowledge on issues relating to modelling, representation, extraction, and mining information on the Web. It helps readers in understanding current researches on web information system. In particular, chapter 5 and chapter 6 are suitable for readers with database background. These two chapters describe how XML documents can be stored in object relational database and how a subset of concepts can be optimally extracted.
