Description
Due to the absence of publishing standards or review processes the quality control of Web content is often insufficient. As a result there is a lot of mistaken or unreliable information on the Web that can have detrimental effects on users. For example, Web pages may provide inaccurate or incomplete information, or their content can be obsolete or biased. This situation calls for technology that would facilitate judging the trustworthiness of content and the quality and accuracy of the information that users encounter on the Web. Such technology should be able to handle a wide range of tasks: extracting credible information related to a given topic, organizing this information, detecting its provenance, clarifying background, facts, and other related opinions and the distribution of them, and so on. The problem of information reliability and quality on the Web has become also apparent in the view of the recent emergence of many popular Web 2.0 applications.
