Data integration systems offer users a uniform interface to a set of data sources. Previous work has typically assumed that the data sources are independent of each other; however...
This paper reports our first set of results on managing uncertainty in data integration. We posit that data-integration systems need to handle uncertainty at three levels, and do...
Abstract. We address what is still a scarcity of general mathematical foundations for ontology-based semantic integration underlying current knowledge engineering methodologies in ...
An increasingly important trend in the engineering of complex systems is the design of component integration standards. Such standards de ne rules of interaction and shared commun...
In this paper, we address the problem of query formulation in the context of multi-domain integration of heterogeneous data on the Web. We argue that effectively tackling this pro...
