In this paper we introduce the idea of snapshot queries for energy efficient data acquisition in sensor networks. Network nodes generate models of their surrounding environment th...
In the study of data exchange one usually assumes an openworld semantics, making it possible to extend instances of target schemas. An alternative closed-world semantics only move...
We examine the problem of evaluating selection queries over imprecisely represented objects. Such objects are used either because they are much smaller in size than the precise on...
Semistructured data, in particular XML, has emerged as one of the primary means for information exchange and content management. The power of XML allows authors to structure a doc...
We develop query relaxation techniques for regular path queries and combine them with query approximation in order to support flexible querying of RDF data when the user lacks know...
