In this paper we study the problem of deciding whether a regular path query over views in data-integration systems can be re-expressed without recursion. The problem becomes chall...
The interaction between recursion in XPATH and recursion in DTDs makes it challenging to answer XPATH queries on XML data that is stored in an RDBMS via schema-based shredding. We...
With the advent of XML as a standard for data representation and exchange on the Internet, storing and querying XML data becomes more and more important. Several XML query languag...
We develop a data integration approach for the efficient evaluation of queries over autonomous source databases. The approach is based on some novel applications and extensions of...
Queries involving aggregation are typical in a number of database research areas, such as data warehousing, global information systems and mobile computing. One of the main ideas ...
