Materialized views offer opportunities for significant performance gain in query evaluation by providing fast access to pre-computed data. The question of when and how to use a ma...
Abstract. Retrieving semistructured (XML) data typically requires either a structured query such as XPath, or a keyword query that does not take structure into account. In this pap...
Data integration systems provide a uniform query interface (UQI) to multiple, autonomous data sources [4]. This paper presents the universal data model (UDM) that captures the sem...
The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously materialized views over the database, rather than accessin...
We address the problem of query rewriting for TSL, a language for querying semistructured data. We develop and present an algorithm that, given a semistructured query q and a set ...
