This paper examines the properties of metadata in the form of IF THEN rules which contain two predicates on attributes of a relational database table. For example: a(15 .. 30) d(2...
This paper presents a framework for a learning based approach to dynamically evolve the conceptual structure of a database in order to facilitate virtual representation of data in ...
