Webdam ERC Grant

The Webdam grant (S. Abiteboul) started in December 2008. The goal to develop a formal model for Web data management. This model will open new horizons for the development of the Web in a well-principled way, enhancing its functionality, performance, and reliability. Specifically, the goal is to develop a universally accepted formal framework for describing complex and flexible interacting Web applications featuring notably data exchange, sharing, integration, querying and updating. We also propose to develop formal foundations that will enable peers to concurrently reason about global data management activities, cooperate in solving specific tasks and support services with desired quality of service.

The Webdam project is shared between the Dahu and Gemo project-teams, both from INRIA Saclay.
