The mission

Information available online is more and more complex, distributed, heterogeneous, replicated, and changing. Web services, such as a SOAP services, should also be viewed as information to be exploited.

The goal of this project is twofold: First of all to study the fundamental problems that are raised by modern information and knowledge management systems, and secondly to determine novel solutions to solve these problems. Such systems will contain rich information and must be connected to networks. Gemo's main theme is the integration of information, seen as a general concept; more precisely, to discover meaningful information or services, understand their content or goal, integrate them, and finally monitor their evolution over time.

These new problems combine Artificial Intelligence techniques (such as classification) and Database techniques (such as indexing).

Gemo is a project born from the merging of INRIA-Rocquencourt project Verso, with the IASI group of Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique (UMR 8623 CNRS-University Paris-Sud). It is geographically located in Orsay.
