Data driven
The data-driven technological spaces deal with spreadsheets, sequential and indexed files, and CSV files. Spreadsheetware (tables with programmable cells) is a technological space which started to emerge since the early tabular data set manipulation programs in the 1960s, but gained the full attention of the academic research community only recently. Fileware is a term used for COBOL-like manipulation of indexed files. CSV (comma-separated values) is one of the very frequently used notations for home-grown textual data definition languages in many applications. Data-driven journalism is a related, emerging field of analysis and filtering of large data sets. This working group will discuss the research landscape on data-driven technological spaces. As usual, technological spaces blend into each other. That is, in the not too remote neighborhood of the data-driven technological spaces, there are the spaces for XMLware and tableware (in the sense of relational databases) --- even though they will presumably be of less concern for this working group.
