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...
Rewriting queries using views is a powerful technique that has applications in data integration, data warehousing and query optimization. Query rewriting in relational databases i...
In this paper, we introduce preferential regular path queries. These are regular path queries whose symbols are annotated with preference weights for "scaling" up or down...
