Web Data Matching --- WDM 2012

Special session title: WDM 2012, Web Data Matching
Rationale of the need and objective of the session:
In recent years, research in area of web mining and web searching grows rapidly, mainly thanks to growing complexity of digital data and the huge quantity of new data available every day. A Web user wishing to find information on a particular subject must usually guess the keywords under which that information might be classified by a standard search engine. There are also new approaches such as the various methods of the classification of web data based an analysis of unstructured and structured web data and use of human and social factors. WDM workshop focuses mainly (but not only) on methods of analysis of web data leading to their classification and use to improve user orientation at Web.
Specific topics of interest
To address the aforementioned aspects of evolution of social networks, the preferred topics for this special session are (but not limited to):
