The class of unions of conjunctive queries (UCQ) has been shown to be particularly well-behaved for data exchange; its certain answers can be computed in polynomial time (in terms...
Marx and de Rijke have shown that the navigational core of the w3c XML query language XPath is not first-order complete ? that is it cannot express every query definable in firsto...
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...
The large amount of patterns generated by frequent pattern mining algorithms has been extensively addressed in the last few years. In geographic pattern mining, besides the large ...
The W3C's Semantic Web Activity is illustrating the use of semantics for information integration, search, and analysis. However, the majority of the work in this community ha...
In this paper we describe work on the automatic recognition of island structures. In an initial phase several test persons were asked to mark groups of islands that they perceived...
The result of a distance join operation on two sets of objects R, S on a spatial network G is a set P of object pairs <p, q>, p R, q S such that the distance of an object ...
Topological relationships between objects in space are of great importance in many disciplines. Recently, topological relationships have been defined for complex spatial objects. ...
