The purpose of the workshop is to devote national attention to the need for identifying and comprehensively examining the major challenges in the area of information integration (II) and the required long-term research, engineering and development that will be needed to advance the state of the art and state of the practice in the application of advanced IT to resolve these challenges in the near- and long-term. The type and modality of information available in digital form is vast - image, video, text, audio, sensor and other forms of streaming data, as well as structured data such as databases and XML/ HTML documents. Although the data may be geographically distributed, collected and designed for specific uses and applications ("silos" of information), it is often logically inter-related, and many important questions can only be answered by accessing it collectively. However, despite considerable research and development over the last 20 years, truly ad hoc II, where disparate information systems are accessed efficiently in real time in response to unanticipated information needs and data is combined to form reliable answers to queries, remains an elusive goal. A systematic development of II technologies is needed to provide the necessary infrastructure leading to significant advances in the access to and analysis of widely distributed, heterogeneous, disparate information resources. Of particular importance to this workshop will be issues associated with the integration of science and engineering data and Federal, medical, and other records.

讲习班的目的是在全国范围内注意确定和全面审查信息集成(二)领域的主要挑战的必要性，以及为推动先进信息技术应用的最新水平和实践水平以在短期和长期解决这些挑战所需的长期研究、工程和开发。以数字形式提供的信息的类型和形式是巨大的--图像、视频、文本、音频、传感器和其他形式的流数据，以及数据库和XML/HTML文档等结构化数据。尽管数据可能在地理上分布、收集和设计用于特定用途和应用(信息的“孤岛”)，但它们往往在逻辑上相互关联，许多重要问题只能通过集体访问才能得到答案。然而，尽管在过去20年中进行了大量的研究和开发，但真正的临时二期仍然是一个难以实现的目标，即根据意外的信息需求高效地实时访问不同的信息系统，并结合数据以形成对查询的可靠答案。需要有系统地发展第二类技术，以提供必要的基础设施，从而在获取和分析广泛分布、异质、不同的信息资源方面取得重大进展。对这次研讨会特别重要的将是与科学和工程数据以及联邦、医疗和其他记录的整合有关的问题。
