Abstract. We are interested in the theoretical foundations of the optimization of conjunctive regular path queries (CRPQs). The basic problem here is deciding query containment bot...
For many problems arising in the setting of graph querying (such as finding semantic associations in RDF graphs, exact and approximate pattern matching, sequence alignment, etc.)...
The problem of deciding query containment has important applications in classical query optimization and heterogeneous database systems. Query containment is undecidable for unres...
All the languages for querying semistructured data and the web use as an integral part regular expressions. Based on practical observations, finding the paths that satisfy those r...
The class of unions of conjunctive queries (UCQ) has been shown to be particularly well-behaved for data exchange; its certain answers can be computed in polynomial time (in terms...
