Objectives
The World Wide Web is a huge repository of global information that holds tremendous potential for data mining and knowledge discovery. The diversity and vastness of data on the WWW is both a challenge and an impediment to the successful application of traditional mining and knowledge discovery tools and techniques. The crossover from traditional data sources to the WWW demands new notions, frameworks and solutions to address changes and developments required in equipping data mining and knowledge discovery tools and techniques for the new arena.

This workshop intends to bring together researchers in the knowledge discovery and mining areas and in the management of unstructured and semi-structured Web data areas to assess current methodologies and explore new notions, approaches, and issues in web data mining and warehousing. We invite papers that are relevant, but not limited to the following areas of interest:
