We are currently witnessing a tremendous explosion in the volume of data due to the extremely fast advances in computing systems and technologies,  Today, computing systems are more complex, distributed, and integrated. Hence, Big Data technologies and services are ever more vital in many domains and sectors,  The integration and employment of Data Science and Big Data technologies in the  fields of archiving, documentation, and libraries in one of the crucial needs that require investigation and further research. This integration will guide the transformation of the archiving, documentation and library domain to a new technology-driven Era.

 Handling large volumes of data with different types (structured, unstructured and semi-structured) is among the key challenges of big data modeling and management, Unstructured data is everywhere and is actually growing at much higher rates than structured data. Experts estimate that about 80% of an organization’s data is unstructured,  Text, images, videos, social network data, website contents, and radar images are all typical examples of unstructured data that is common in the archival, documentation, and libraries domain. Handling unstructured data is thus a key concern

This conference aims to provide a forum for researchers who address possible ways of integrating Data Science and Big Data technologies in the Information centric entities in the Arab world, The conference targets to shed the light on the data management challenges in both the theoretical and applied directions that face the Arab Information centric entities to assist in restructuring and enhancing the capabilities and functions of those entities on various levels.
