• semistructured data addressing XML, query languages and integrity constraints, focusing on advanced technologies for organizing web data for effective retrieval;
• multimedia database organization emphasizing video data organization and data structures for similarity retrieval;
• technologies for data mining and data warehousing;
• index organization and efficient query processing issues;
• spatial data access and indexing;
• organizing and retrieval of WWW and hypermedia.

Information Organization and Databases: Foundations of Data Organization is a resource for database practitioners, database researchers, designers and administrators of multimedia information systems, and graduate-level students in the area of information retrieval and/or databases wishing to keep abreast of advances in the information organization technologies.
