Schema mappings are high-level specifications that describe the relationship between two database schemas. They are an important tool in several areas of database research, notab...
Traditional information search in which queries are posed against a known and rigid schema over a structured database is shifting towards a Web scenario in which exposed schemas ar...
Motivated by the possibilities of applying deductive database technology for efficient query answering in description logics, we present a translation operator µ that transforms...
Query answering over commonsense knowledge bases typically employs a first-order logic theorem prover. While first-order inference is intractable in general, provers can often b...

In this paper we address the problem of query answering and rewriting in global-as-view data integration systems, when key and inclusion dependencies are expressed on the global i...
Conjunctive queries play an important role as an expressive query language for Description Logics (DLs). Although modern DLs usually provide for transitive roles, conjunctive quer...

Abstract. Ontology based data access (OBDA) is concerned with providing access to typically very large data sources through a mediating conceptual layer that allows one to improve ...

Answering queries posed over knowledge bases is a central problem in knowledge representation and database theory. In databases, query containment is one of the important query op...
