Data integration approaches mostly attempt to resolve semantic uncertainty and conflicts between data sources during the data integration process. In some application areas, this...
Several classical schemes exist to represent trees as strings over a fixed alphabet; these are useful in many algorithmic and conceptual studies. Our previous work has proposed a...
Folksonomies, collaboratively created sets of metadata, are becoming more and more important for organising information and knowledge of communites in the Web. While for a single ...
In this paper we give an overview of methods to find representations of ontology defined concepts in texts. We distinguish two approaches: lexicon-based methods and approaches u...

This paper deals with the problem of author identification. The Common N-Grams (CNG) method [6] is a language-independent profile-based approach with good results in many author i...
We introduce TIRA1 , a software architecture for the rapid prototyping of tailored information retrieval (IR) tools. TIRA allows to compose personal IR tools from atomic IR servic...
Both Geographic Information Systems and Information Retrieval have been very active research fields in the last decades. Lately, a new research field called Geographic Informati...
Data fusion has been investigated by many researchers in the information retrieval community and has become an effective technique for improving retrieval effectiveness. In this p...
