Today, in an age of large amounts of data (the era of big data), their organization and use is becoming increasingly important.

The operation of an organization in a fast changing world largely depends on acquisition and management of data, information and knowledge. Data can be stored in various types of databases, tailored for organizational needs, such as in-memory, cloud, distributed, deductive, mobile, temporal, spatial... Knowledge bases are essential part of intelligent and knowledge management systems that support business. Representation, querying and reasoning enable sharing and use of data and knowledge in decision making processes crucial for organization success.
