| Summary |
"The Web is causing a revolution in how we represent, retrieve, and process information. Its growth has given us a universally accessible database - but in the form of a largely unorganized collection of documents. This is changing, thanks to the simultaneous emergence of new ways of representing data: from within the Web community, XML; and from within the database community, semistructured data. The convergence of these two approaches has rendered them nearly identical. Now, there is a concerted effort to develop effective techniques for retrieving and processing both kinds of data."--BOOK JACKET |

"Data on the Web is the only comprehensive, up-to-date examination of these rapidly evolving retrieval and processing strategies, which are of critical importance for almost all Web- and data-intensive enterprises. This book offers detailed solutions to a wide range of practical problems while equipping you with a keen understanding of the fundamental issues - including data models, query languages, and schemas - involved in their design, implementation, and optimization."--BOOK JACKET |
