: We propose in this article an object-oriented approach to rewriting queries using views. Our approach aims to mitigate certain limitations of existing query rewriting approaches....
The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously materialized views over the database, rather than accessing...
We investigate the question of whether a query can be answered using a set V of views. We first define the problem in information-theoretic terms: we say that V determines if V pr...
A multidimensional database can be seen as a collection of multidimensional cubes, from which information is usually extracted by aggregation; aggregated data can be calculated ei...
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...
