<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:9pt;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica">Since
1995, the NLDB conference has aimed at bringing together researchers,
industrials and potential users interested in various applications of
Natural Language in the Data Bases and Information System area. Natural
Language Processing has become an important factor in the field of
Information and Communication systems in the last years. It has contributed
to both improving the development process from the viewpoints of the
developers (e.g. the process of requirements engineering, conceptual
modeling, validation etc.) and the usability of applications (e.g. natural
language query interfaces, retrieval, semantic web etc.) To underline these
inspiring connections, NLDB 2010 will take place from June 23 to June 25 in
