An important application of XML is the interchange of electronic data (EDI) between multiple data sources on the Web. As XML data proliferates on the Web, applications will need t...
The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously materialized views over the database, rather than accessing...
We study the problem of rewriting queries using views in the presence of access patterns, integrity constraints, disjunction, and negation. We provide asymptotically optimal algori...
This paper presents an approach to answering queries over an ontology modelled using a description logic. The ontology acts as a global schema, providing a declarative description...
