================================================================ 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Track: Data and Information Quality
Minitrack: Data and Information Quality of Unstructured Data
August 12-15, 2010, Lima, Peru http://www.amcis2010.org ================================================================
Unstructured data include free-form text such as found in word processing documents, e-mail, Web pages, spreadsheets, and text files, as well as nontextual dataimages, sound, video, and graphics. Estimates of the proportion of unstructured data in organizations are staggeringanalysts estimate that 80 percent of the data is unstructured. Analysts have also observed that the major drivers for unstructured data growth are Microsoft Office, email attachments, and backup and archival, as well as the generation of multiple and distributed copies of data. In particular, the Web is a primary unstructured information source for nearly every knowledge worker.
Evidently, organizations that rely solely on structured, record-oriented data have incomplete information. In recent years, there is a growing interest in accessing unstructured data and utilizing them, often together with structured data. Applications vary from counter-terrorism and biomedical information extraction to business intelligence, customer relationship management, and more. Although they have enormous potential for improving the completeness of information in particular and its quality in general, unstructured data introduce numerous new challenges for data and information quality research.
This mini-track centers on such problems. We welcome papers that address technical or managerial data quality challenges and solutions for fulfilling the potential of unstructured data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following list:
- Data quality on the Web - Quality assessment methods - Reconciliation of comparable sources - Social aspects of data quality - Reusing and repurposing unstructured data - Governance of unstructured data - Cost and benefit assessments - Scalability and scalable solutions
--- Journal Publication ---- Extended versions of outstanding papers will be fast-tracked to ACM JDIQ (http://jdiq.acm.org/). Selected authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue/section in International Journal of Data Mining, Modelling and Management (IJDMMM) (www.inderscience.com/ijdmmm) .
