Since 1995, the NLDB conference has aimed at bringing together researchers, industrials and potential users interested in various applications of Natural Language in the Database and Information System area.Natural Language Processing has become an important factor in the field of Information and Communication systems in the last years. It has contributed to both improving the development process from the viewpoints of the developers (e.g. the process of requirements engineering, conceptual modelling, validation etc.)and the usability of applications (e.g. natural language query interfaces, retrieval, semantic web etc.)
To underline these inspiring connections, NLDB 2010 will take place from June 23 to June 25 in Cardiff (Wales).
