ADVANCES IN DATABASES KARTONIERT (TB)

The ever-expanding growth of Information Technology continues to place fresh demands on the
management of data. Database researchers must respond to new challenges  particularly to the
opportunities offered by the Internet for access to distributed  semi-structured and multimedia
data sources. th This volume contains the proceedings of the 18 British National Conference on
Databases (BNCOD 2001)  held at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in July 2001. In recent
years  interest in this conference series has extended well beyond the UK. In selecting just
eleven of the submitted papers for presentation  the programme committee has included
contributors from The Netherlands  Germany  Sweden  Canada and USA. In addition  two specially
invited speakers address subjects of topical interest. Our first invited speaker is Professor
Dr. Rudi Studer from the University of Karlsruhe. At AIFB  the Institute for Applied
Informatics and Formal Description Methods  he and his colleagues are in the forefront of work
on the Semantic Web. This aims to make information accessible to human and software agents on a
semantic basis. The paper discusses the role that semantic structures  based on ontologies 
play in establishing communication between different agents. The AIFB web site has been
developed as a semantic portal to serve as a case study.
