Event Abstract

Data-Management at Web Scale

  • 1 Google Inc., United States

Though the World-Wide Web is mostly known for its vast collection of textual data, the Web also offers access to millions of structured databases in almost every domain imaginable. Leveraging these collections for better search raises some significant challenges. In addition, the Web enables novel opportunities for collaborative data creation, management and analysis. In this talk I will describe some of the projects at Google that address these challenges.

In one project we crawled the content of millions of databases behind forms and now serve content from these databases to over 1000 queries per second. In the second, I will describe what can be done with a collection of 150 million high-quality data tables, 5 orders of magnitude greater than any previous collection ever managed. Finally, I will describe novel tools for collaborative data creation and discussion.
