The modern XML query language called XQuery includes advanced facilities both to query and to transform XML data. An XQuery query optimizer should be able to optimize any query. F...
In the past decade, researchers have combined deductive and object-oriented features to produce systems that are powerful and have excellent modeling capabilities. More recently, a...

Current real-world software applications typically involve heavy use of relational and XML data and their query languages. Unfortunately object-oriented languages and database que...
Today, there are several approaches supporting an integrated processing of XML and (object-)relational data sources. However, each of these approaches favors a single data model f...
The integration of query languages and programming languages is still a central problem of database research. In particular, issues with respect to the impedance mismatch are of i...
The ultimate goal of data visualization is to clearly portray features relevant to the problem being studied. This goal can be realized only if users can effectively communicate t...

We investigate the question of whether a query can be answered using a set V of views. We first define the problem in information-theoretic terms: we say that V determines if V pr...
The Semantic Web is based on the idea of adding more machine-readable semantics to web information via annotations written in a language called the Resource Description Framework ...
As the data and ontology layers of the Semantic Web stack have achieved a certain level of maturity in standard recommendations such as RDF and OWL, the current focus lies on two ...
