The problem of deciding query containment has important applications in classical query optimization and heterogeneous database systems. Query containment is undecidable for unres...
XML and other semi-structured data may have partially specified or missing schema information, motivating the use of a structural summary which can be automatically computed from ...

In previous papers we have proposed a graphical query language for expressing traversal recursions in labelled, directed graphs. A fundamental feature of the language is the use o...
In this paper we consider supernormal defaults [Poo88] with a strict partial order defining their priorities [Bre91]. We investigate their relation to minimal or preferential ent...
In this paper, we study semistructured data and indexes preserving inclusion constraints. A semistructured datum is modelled by multi-rooted edge-labeled directed graphs. We consi...
