The WebDB workshop focuses on providing a forum where researchers, theoreticians, and practitioners can share their knowledge and opinions about problems and solutions at the intersection of data management and the Web.

This year's WebDB will focus on tools the DB community can offer to simplify development and maintenance of current and next-generation consumer-oriented Web-hosted applications. What can database research provide, either stand-alone or as a component within Web Application Frameworks, that will simplify the specification of consumer applications and ease the complexity of maintaining, testing, and verifying them? What can it provide to make integration of new forms of data-driven dynamic web content (e.g. user feedback, tags, contributed multimedia) into these applications easier?
