Abstract
The World-Wide Web provides access to millions of data tables with high-quality content, formatted either in HTML tables, HTML lists, or other structured formats, or stored in on-line data management services. These tables contain data about virtually every domain of interest to mankind. Several reasearch projects aim at enabling search over these data sets and ultimately the ability to answer queries and to combine data from multiple sources.
