The emergence of the Semantic Web has led to the creation of large semantic knowledge bases, often in the form of RDF databases. Improving the performance of RDF databases necessit...
A hierarchical framework for the recognition of complex deformable shapes is developed. In extension to traditional approaches an additional layer of control is introduced to guid...
