Querying and integrating sources of structured data from the Web in most cases requires similarity-based concepts to deal with data level conflicts. This is due to the often errone...
Metric access methods (MAMs), such as the M-tree, are powerful index structures for supporting ty queries on metric spaces, which represent a common abstraction for those searchin...
