The novel context of accessing and querying large data repositories through ontologies that are formalized in terms of expressive DLs requires on the one hand to consider query an...
The goal of a data integration system is to provide a uniform interface to a multitude of data sources. Given a user query formulated in this interface, the system translates it i...
In this paper we study the node distribution of an Rtree storing region data, like for instance islands, lakes or human-inhabited areas. We will show that real region datasets are...
In this research, we propose to use the discrete cosine transform to approximate the cumulative distributions of data cube cells' values. The cosine transform is known to have...
The process of building a new database relevant to some field of study in biomedicine involves transforming, integrating, and cleansing multiple data sources, as well as adding ne...
