When two or more databases are combined into a global one, integrity may be violated even when each database is consistent with its own local integrity constraints. Efficient metho...
When a database is defined as views over autonomous sources, inconsistencies with respect to global integrity constraints are to be expected. This paper investigates the possibili...
In the context of relational as well as deductive databases, correct and efficient integrity checking is a crucial issue, as, without any guarantee of data consistency, the answers...
The enforcement of semantic integrity constraints in data and knowledge bases constitutea a major performance bottleneck. Integrity constraint simplification methods aim at reduci...
In this paper we consider the problem of answering queries using views, with or without ontological constraints, which is important for data integration, query optimization, and d...
