Abstract. Data integration plays a major role in modern Life Sciences research primarily because required resources are geographically distributed across continents and experts dep...
Query optimization in data integration requires source coverage and overlap statistics. Gathering and storing the required statistics presents many challenges, not the least of wh...
We introduce a declarative approach for a coherent composition of autonomous databases. For this we use ID-logic, a formalism that extends classical logic with inductive definitio...
