We present in this paper ObjectRunner, a system for extracting, integrating and querying structured data from the Web. Our system harvests real-world items from template-based HTM...
Many applications depend on efficient management of large sets of distinct strings in memory. For example, during index construction for text databases a record is held for each d...
All existing proposals for querying XML (e.g., XQuery) rely on a pattern-specification language that allows (1) path navigation and branching through the label structure of the XM...
This paper is concerned with design, implementation and verification of persistent purely functional data structures which are motivated by the representation of natural numbers us...
