Welcome

The Dutch-Belgian DataBase Day (DBDBD) is a yearly one-day workshop, organized in a Belgian or Dutch university, whose general topic is database research. DBDBD 2023 will be held in Ghent, Belgium.

At DBDBD 2023, junior and senior researchers from the Netherlands and Belgium can present their recent results, and meet fellow researchers in the field of data management. It is an excellent opportunity to meet up with your Belgian/Dutch colleagues, and to get informed about the (recent) database-related research performed in Belgian/Dutch universities. The workshop welcomes non-Belgian/Dutch participants (presentations are in English). DBDBD has a tradition of favouring presentations by junior researchers.

The workshop consists of oral and poster presentations. There are no printed proceedings. Abstracts of oral and poster presentations will be published on the DBDBD 2023 website.

We invite submissions (1 page abstract) on a broad range of database and database-related topics, including but not limited to data storage and management, theoretical database issues, database performance, data mining, artificial intelligence in data management, information retrieval, data semantics, querying, ontologies etc. Based on the submissions, the workshop will be organized in different sessions, each covering a particular topic. See the Submission Guidelines for further details.

This year, DBDBD is organized by the Database, Document and Content Management (DDCM) research group of Ghent university. This workshop is organised with the support of Flanders AI Academy (VAIA) and The Netherlands Research School for Information and Knowledge Systems (SIKS).
