Metadata management in statistical information processing - a unified framework for metadata-based processing of statistical data aggregates

Statistical Metadata in Data Processing and Interchange

The term metadata is frequently considered in many different sciences. Statistical metadata is a term generally used to denote data about data. Modern statistical information systems (SIS) use metadata templates or complex object-oriented metadata models, making an extensive and active usage of metadata. Complex metadata structures cannot be stored efficiently using metadata templates. Furtherm...

A Differentiated Pricing Framework for Improving the Performance of the Elastic Traffics in Data Networks

Rate allocation has become a demanding task in data networks as diversity in users and traffics proliferate. Most commonly used algorithm in end hosts is TCP. This is a loss based scheme therefore it exhibits oscillatory behavior which reduces network performance. Moreover, since the price for all sessions is based on the aggregate throughput, losses that are caused by TCP affect other sessions...

A European Framework for Regulating Data and Metadata Markets

In this paper we examine the possibilities offered by the EU legal framework to set and regulate a data and meta-data market. It is our contention that a policy and legally-driven market could benefit from analytical concepts —meta-rule of law, semantic web regulatory models, legal ontologies— to reduce privacy and data protection risks. We introduce a general and integrated framework, and prov...
