Abstract. Sensor networks monitor physical phenomena over large geographic regions. Scientists can gain valuable insight into these phenomena, if they understand the underlying dat...
We present STRIDER1 , a versatile system for the disambiguation of structure-based information like XML schemas, structures of XML documents and web directories. The system perform...
