Semistructured data occur in situations where information lacks a homogeneous structure and is incomplete. Yet, up to now the incompleteness of information has not been re ected b...
We give a complexity theoretic classification of homomorphism problems for graphs and, more generally, relational structures obtained by restricting the left hand side structure ...
The paper investigates the question of whether a partially closed database has complete information to answer a query. In practice an enterprise often maintains master data Dm, a ...
In this paper we study the following problem. Given a database and a set of queries, we want to find a set of views that can compute the answers to the queries, such that the amoun...
Owners of sources registered in an information integration system, which provides answers to a (potentially evolving) set of client queries, need to know their contribution to the...
