What is DBTA?

DBTA aims to promote exchanges between professionals in Switzerland with interests in all aspects of information systems. It is a special interest group of the Swiss Informatics Society.

DBTA interests include, not only traditional database technologies, but also topic such as web information systems, ontologies, XML data management, service-oriented architectures and information retrieval systems. Here we list just some of the topics of interest to our members:

  • Database technologies and applications
  • Information integration
  • XML data management
  • Web information systems
  • Ontologies and semantic web
  • Information retrieval
  • Mobile and ubiquitous information systems
  • Information interaction

To promote the flow of information between members of the Swiss Information Systems community, we have established a new dbta mailing list to allow subscribers to send and receive emails about events in Switzerland. The list is open so you don't have to be a DBTA member to subscribe. The list will be moderated to ensure that you will only receive emails relevant to the community.
