Factorised representations of query results: size bounds and readability
We introduce a representation system for relational data based on algebraic factorisation using distributivity of product over union and commutativity of product and union. We giv...

View determinacy for preserving selected information in data transformations
When transforming data one often wants certain information in the data source to be preserved, i.e., we identify parts of the source data and require these parts to be transformed...

On (In)Tractability of OBDA with OWL 2 QL
We show that, although conjunctive queries over OWL 2 QL ontologies are reducible to database queries, no algorithm can construct such a reduction in polynomial time without changi...

Redundancy Elimination on RDF Graphs in the Presence of Rules, Constraints, and Queries
Based on practical observations on rule-based inference on RDF data, we study the problem of redundancy elimination on RDF graphs in the presence of rules (in the form of Datalog r...
