We explore the implications of supporting bags (i.e. multisets) in a data model and associated query language, and present some formal results concerned with the algebraic propert...
We address the issue of designing effective query languages for OLAP databases. The basis of our investigation is MD, a new data model for multidimensional databases that, unlike ...
The increasing power of techniques to model complex geometry and extract meaning from 3D information create complex data that must be described, stored, and displayed to be useful...
As the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is about to emerge as a new standard for databases, the problem of providing solid logical grounds for XML query languages arises. For the ...
Global clustering has rarely been investigated in the area of spatial database systems although dramatic performance improvements can be achieved by using suitable techniques. In ...
