========================================================================

Web search engines have popularized the keyword search queries for text 
documents. With increasing number of consumers facing structured data stores, 
it is now also important to support keyword search queries efficiently 
over such data stores. Just as keyword search is popular over not only 
on web documents but also on the intranet of the enterprises, keyword 
search over databases is also important for structured data collections 
on the intranet and indeed on individual databases. However, due to the 
inherent ambiguity of keyword search queries and the richness of semantics 
attached to structured data, data, providing intelligent search results 
efficiently is extremely challenging. This special issue of TKDE on 
“Keyword Search on Structured Data” calls for original articles that 
propose innovative approaches to address this challenging task.
