Traditionally, infinite databases were studied as a data model for queries that may contain function symbols (since functions may be expressed as infinite relations). Recently, th...
We study the problem of querying data sources that accept only a limited set of queries, such as sources accessible by Web services which can implement very large (potentially inf...
Abstract. We consider the setting of ontological database access, where an Abox is given in form of a relational database D and where a Boolean conjunctive query q has to be evalua...
In this work, we present a semantic query optimization technique to improve the efficiency of the evaluation of a subset of SQL:1999 recursive queries. Using datalog notation, we c...
This paper introduces a new logical formalism, intended for temporal conceptual modelling, as a natural combination of the well-known description logic DLR and point-based linear ...
