Secondary issues and party politics: an application to environmental policy
The paper develops a political economy model to assess the interplay between party formation and an environmental policy dimension viewed as secondary to the redistributive dimension. We de ne being a secondary issue in terms of the intensity of preferences over this issue rather than in terms of the proportion of voters who care for the environment. Equilibrium policies are the outcome of an e...
متن کاملIntegrating Ontologies and Relational Data
In recent years, an increasing number of scientific and other domains have attempted to standardize their terminology and provide reasoning capabilities through ontologies, in order to facilitate data exchange. This has spurred research into Web-based languages, formalisms, and especially query systems based on ontologies. Yet we argue that DBMS techniques can be extended to provide many of the...
متن کاملProbabilistic Ontologies and Relational Databases
The relational algebra and calculus do not take the semantics of terms into account when answering queries. As a consequence, not all tuples that should be returned in response to a query are always returned, leading to low recall. In this paper, we propose the novel notion of a constrained probabilistic ontology (CPO). We developed the concept of a CPO-enhanced relation in which each attribute...
متن کاملThe Relational Politics of Gender and Leisure
Gender is a powerful influence in the lives of people and societies. Often confused with the word sex and associated mostly with women, gender is a consideration that everyone must negotiate (Freysinger et al, 2013). Indeed, gender is so pervasive that it often takes a deliberate disruption to draw attention to the gendered nature of society. Given the pervasive nature of gender in society, it ...
متن کاملExtracting Ontologies from Relational Databases
The use of a conceptual model (or an ontology) to describe relational data sources has been proved to be extremely useful to overcome many important data access problems. However, the task of wrapping relational data sources by means of an ontology is mainly done manually. In this paper we introduce an automatic procedure for extracting a conceptual view from a relational database. The semantic...
