Abstract. Ontologies are pervading many areas of knowledge representation and management. To date, most research efforts have been spent on the development of sufficiently express...
We present HyperGraphDB, a novel graph database based on generalized hypergraphs where hyperedges can contain other hyperedges. This generalization automatically reifies every ent...
Industrial applications use specific problem-oriented implementations of large sparse and irregular data structures. Hence there is a need for tools that make it possible for deve...
A graphical formalized language is proposed for specifying systems of views over database schemas. The language is based on the notion of arrow (mapping) between data schemas and ...
The parametric data model captures an object in terms of a single tuple. This feature eliminates unnecessary self-join operations to combine tuples scattered in a temporal relatio...
