The Web are ever-increasing in size and involving a quite broad range of technologies such as databases, XML and digital contents, data and Web mining, Web services, semantic Web and ontology, information retrieval, and others. WCMT 2009 will be held in conjunction with WAIM/APWeb 2009 conference and invites original research contribution on XML, Web, and Internet contents technologies. WCMT 2009 aims at bringing together researchers in different fields related to Web information processing who have a common interest in interdisciplinary research. The workshop provides a forum where researchers and practitioners can share and exchange their knowledge and experience.

= Topics of Interest =

The WCMT 2009 topics include but are certainly not limited to the following areas:

* Contents modeling and organization

* XML and semi-structured data management for content processing

* Requirements elicitation, design, and implementation of web-based
