Most of the existing data are currently provided, shared and exchanged over the Internet. For instance, there is a huge amount of HTML and XHTML web pages that extend data with information on their visualization, RDF data that add important information on semantics of the data, or XML documents that involve data together with meta-data carrying information on their hierarchy. Consequently, there rises the need for efficient and usable methods and tools for their design and visualization. Such approaches help the user to better understand and describe the structure and semantics of the data and, hence, to propose more appropriate processing methods. In addition, various types of data models, conceptual schemas and visualization techniques enable users to omit unnecessary technical details such as correct nesting of XML elements, case sensitivity, matching of parenthesis, etc. and to focus on important aspects of the particular application such as precise abstraction of the reality, data semantics, etc.

We believe that our specialized workshop will enable to bring all the related topics together and provide an opportunity to deal with the known issues more thoroughly, to share the respective ideas and to discuss them from various points of view. On the other hand, since correct modelling of data and the knowledge of their structure as well as semantics is one of the key aspects for their successful management, we believe that holding the workshop in conjunction with DEXA conference will also provide the opportunity for sharing the ideas with data management experts and finding new issues and challenges on both sides.

We invite original submissions from research communities dealing with different theoretical and applied aspects of web-related data visualization and modelling. Areas of interests include, but are not limited to:
