This paper presents an application of a DL reasoner to the optimization of an object-relational query language. Queries containing aggregate functions are difficult to optimize be...
Answering queries over an incomplete database w.r.t. a set of constraints is an important computational task with applications in fields as diverse as information integration and ...
In this paper we present a technique to optimize queries on deductive databases that use aggregate operations such as min, max, and “largest Ic values.” Our approach is based ...
Abstract. We extend different Description Logics by concrete domains (such as integers and reals) and by aggregation functions over these domains (such as min;max;count;sum), which...
Queries involving aggregation are typical in a number of database research areas, such as data warehousing, global information systems and mobile computing. One of the main ideas ...
