One criterion for the well-formedness of ontologies is that their hierarchical structure forms a lattice. Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) has been used as a technique for assessing ...
Inductive databases tightly integrate databases with data mining. The key ideas are that data and patterns (or models) are handled in the same way and that an inductive query lang...
—In the paper “semQA: SPARQL with Idempotent Disjunction” [Shironoshita et al. 2009], the authors study the RDF query language SPARQL. In particular, they claim that some of ...
Accessing structured data such as that encoded in ontologies and knowledge bases can be done using either syntactically complex formal query languages like SPARQL or complicated fo...
We explore the implications of supporting bags (i.e. multisets) in a data model and associated query language, and present some formal results concerned with the algebraic propert...
