We describe the integration of a structuredtext retrieval system (TextMachine) into an object-oriented database system (OpenODB). We use the external function capability of the da...
As video data is penetrating many information systems the need for database support for video data evolves. In this paper we present a generic data model that captures the structu...
We present a proposed query language for extended entity relationship schemas. The language improves on previous proposals by using only concepts explicitly in a given schema. It ...
While much recent research has focussed on extending databases beyond the traditional relational model, relatively little has been done to develop database tools for querying data...
A graphical formalized language is proposed for specifying systems of views over database schemas. The language is based on the notion of arrow (mapping) between data schemas and ...
Motivated to a large extent by the substantial and growing prominence of the World-Wide Web and the potential benefits that may be obtained by applying database concepts and tech...
Abstract. In this paper we present a new approach for studying aggregations in the context of database query languages. Starting from a broad de nition of aggregate function, we ad...
Semistructured databases are treated as dynamically typed: they come equipped with no independent schema or type system to constrain the data. Query languages that are designed fo...
Semistructured data occur in situations where information lacks a homogeneous structure and is incomplete. Yet, up to now the incompleteness of information has not been re ected b...
The Web so far has been incredibly successful at delivering information to human users. So successful actually, that there is now an urgent need to go beyond a browsing human and ...
