Contained rewriting and maximal contained rewriting of tree pattern queries using views have been studied recently for the class of tree patterns involving /, //, and []. Given que...
In this paper we consider general path constraints for semistructured databases. Our general constraints do not suffer from the limitations of the path constraints previously stud...
We study the problem of answering queries posed on virtual views of XML documents, a problem commonly encountered when enforcing XML access control and integrating data. We approa...
We study the problem of generating e cient, equivalent rewritings using views to compute the answer to a query. We take the closed-world assumption, in which views are materialize...
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 ...
