We show how structured data stored in files can benefit from standard database technology and in particular be queried and updated using database languages. We introduce the notio...
In this paper, still images are modeled by hierarchical tree structures and object relational graphs. These modeling concepts can be described naturally using XML schema. We intro...
Abstract. To select an optimal query evaluation strategy for a path query in an object-oriented database system one has to exploit the available index structures on the path. In a ...
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
In this chapter, we summarize the research on querying inconsistent databases we have been conducting over the last five years. The formal framework we have used is based on two c...
