We study containment and equivalence of (unions of) conjunctive queries on relations annotated with elements of a commutative semiring. Such relations and the semantics of positiv...
Abstract. We consider the problem of query containment for conjunctive queries with safe negation property. A necessary and sufficient condition for two queries to be in containmen...
Discovery of suitable web services is a crucial task in Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI). In this work, we develop a novel approach to the discovery of geoprocessing services (WP...
Abstract. We study containment of conjunctive queries that are evaluated over databases that may contain tuples with null values. We assume the semantics of SQL for single block qu...
