Quite a number of present and former OAKs attended VLDB 2014 in Hangzhou, China!
Asterios presented the Delta paper:
Katerina had a paper in the PhD worskhsop, while Ioana and Zoi had also a poster based on their RDF cloud survey. Finally, Ioana co-chaired the BeRSys workshop on the last day of the conference.
There were many interesting papers at the conference, notably in the Knowledge and Web sessions; also, Fabian Suchanek and Gerhard Weikum gave again their Yago tutorial. The industrial session on joins was very interesting, too, with mostly parallel processing techniques for novel kinds of joins.
We also had some interesting restaurant and touristic experiences:
We ate some of that seafood, and survived.
We also went to visit surrounding temples:
and much more!
