Aims and Scope

Since 1995, the NLDB conference, with high impact factor, has aimed at 
bringing

together researchers, industrials and potential users interested in 
various applications

of Natural Language in the Web and database driven information systems 
area. It has

contributed to many areas such as: improving the development process 
from the

viewpoints of the developers (e.g., the process of requirements 
engineering, conceptual

modeling, validation, etc.) the usability of applications (e.g., natural 
language query

interfaces, retrieval, semantic web, etc.) knowledge extraction and 
dissemination (e.g.,

text mining, knowledge discovery, etc.). To underline these inspiring 
connections,

NLDB 2009 will take place from June 23 to June 26 in Saarbrücken, Germany.

Topics of Interest

NLDB 2009 invites researchers to submit papers on recent, unpublished 
research

on all aspects of  Natural Language processing and management related to 
information

systems. The Program  Committee also encourages people from the industry to

submit papers reporting on industrial projects.  Contributions are 
welcome in, but

not limited, from the following topics:

Natural Language for Web Information Intensive Services:

Semantic Information Retrieval, Semantic Web, Social Web and Semantic

Annotation, Semi-structured  Models and Associated Languages, Web Usage,

Content and Structure Mining for Discovering  Semantics, Concept Taxonomies

and Web Mining, Learning Taxonomies and Ontologies from the  Web,

Information Extraction with Machine Learning, Document Classification 
and Indexing.

Natural Language in Conceptual Modeling:

Analysis of Natural Language Descriptions, Requirement Engineering,

Terminological Ontologies,  Paraphrasing, Dynamic Modeling, Verification,

Consistency Checking, Metadata Harvesting

Submission Guidelines:

Authors should submit manuscripts in either PostScript or Portable Document

Format (PDF). Papers  should not exceed 12 pages. Please also note: The 
best

papers will be selected after the conference and  an extended version of 
these

papers will be published in the Data and Knowledge Journal as a special 
issue.
