9. Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava 9 EMG - (some) themes of research to define a model of data and information used in the project based on that model, we propose: –to research methods of supporting the evolution of data by version management methodology

10. Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava 10 EMG - other possible relevant research topics presentation of data and information in a natural language –a method of synthesising simple sentences in Slovak language as a database interface collaboration within a community of experts who use information presented on a web –collaborative filtering that provides recommendations of web data to be accessed finding patterns and similarities within findings data –clustering and classifying data
