: A broad variety of data is available in distinct heterogeneous sources, stored under different formats: database formats (in relational and object-oriented models), document form...
A fundamental problem in information integration is to precisely specify the relationships, called mappings, between schemas. Designing mappings is a time-consuming process. To al...
We present a novel framework for mapping between any combination of XML and relational schemas, in which a high-level, userspecified mapping is translated into semantically meanin...
In a semantic environment data is described by ontologies and ontology mapping has become a crucial aspect in solving the heterogeneity problems of semantically described data. Th...
We introduce the Spicy system, a novel approach to the problem of automatically selecting the best mappings among two data sources. Known schema mapping algorithms rely on value c...
Model is a kind of codified knowledge that has been verified in solving problems. Solving a complex problem usually needs a set of models. Using components, the composition of a s...
In this paper, we propose to extend current practice in schema matching with the simultaneous use of top-K schema mappings rather than a single best mapping. This is a natural ext...
Tension-continuous (shortly TT) mappings are mappings between the edge sets of graphs. They generalize graph homomorphisms. From another perspective, tension-continuous mappings a...
: In a recent paper by the first author, a simple proof was given of a result by Tutte on the validity of barycentric mappings, recast in terms of the injectivity of piecewise line...
Background: Sequences and structures provide valuable complementary information on protein features and functions. However, it is not always straightforward for users to gather in...
