This linguistically motivated work addresses issues in reasoning intelligently over spatial descriptions of simple, static scenes to produce plausible graphical interpretations. I...
Data Warehouses and On-Line Analytical Processing systems rely on a multidimensional model that includes dimensions, hierarchies, and measures. Such model allows to express users&...
Global semantic integrity constraints ensure integrity and consistency of data spanning multiple databases. In this paper, we take the initial steps towards representing global se...
