During the life of a database, systematic and frequent violations of a given constraint may suggest that the represented reality is changing and thus the constraint should evolve ...
RDF is a standard for the conceptual description of knowledge, and SPARQL is the query language conceived to query RDF data. The RDF data is cherished and exploited by various dom...
Enterprises and researchers often have datasets that can be represented as graphs (e.g. social networks). The owner of a large graph may want to scale it down to a smaller version...
Exchange-repair semantics (or, XR-Certain semantics) is a recently proposed inconsistency-tolerant semantics in the context of data exchange. This semantics makes it possible to p...
Ranked lists are an essential methodology to succinctly summarize outstanding items, computed over database tables or crowdsourced in dedicated websites. In this work, we address ...
Skyline queries represent a dataset by the points on its pareto frontier, but can become very large. To alleviate this problem, representative skylines select exactly k skyline po...
In this paper, we propose a crowdsourcing-based approach to solving skyline queries with incomplete data. Our main idea is to leverage crowds to infer the pair-wise preferences be...
The amount of crowdsourced geospatial content on the Web is constantly increasing, providing a wealth of information for a variety of location-based services and applications. Thi...
Micro-blogging systems have become a prime source of information. However due to their unprecedented success, these systems have to face an exponentially increasing amount of user...
Mobile location tracking becomes ubiquitous in many applications, which raises great interests in trajectory data analysis and mining. Most existing work tackled the problem of oï...
