Design principles for XML schemas that eliminate redundancies and avoid update anomalies have been studied recently. Several normal forms, generalizing those for relational databa...
Relational XQuery systems try to re-use mature relational data management infrastructures to create fast and scalable XML database technology. This paper describes the main featur...

When we derive multi-scale databases from a source spatial database, the geometries and topological relations, which are a kind of constraints defined explicitly or implicitly in ...
In this paper, we study the maintenance of role-based access control (RBAC) models in database environments using transitive closure relations. In particular, the algorithms that ...
Describing relational data sources (i.e. databases) by means of ontologies constitutes the foundation of most of the semantic based approaches to data access and integration. In sp...
