Towards Schema Queries for Semantic Data Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We contribute to metadata management by giving a speciication of extended Entity-Relationship schemas with the extended Entity-Relationship model itself. We formulate a number of integrity constraints describing the context-sensitive requirements an extended Entity-Relationship schema has to ful-ll. By doing this, a certain class of schema queries can be formulated.

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
متن کاملAn Improved Semantic Schema Matching Approach
Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, Online Analytical Process (OLAP), Data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. This task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. Recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. In this paper, we present a new impr...
متن کاملFunctional Queries to Wrapped Educational Semantic Web Meta-Data
The aim of the Edutella project is to provide a peer-to-peer infrastructure for educational material retrieval using semantic web meta-data descriptions of educational resources. Edutella uses the semantic web meta-data description languages RDF and RDF-Schema for describing web resources. The aim of this work is to wrap the Edutella infrastructure with a functional mediator system. This makes ...
متن کاملTowards Semantic Integration of XML-based Business Process Models
This paper discusses the applicability of schema integration methodology for the integration of XML Schemas for business process modelling. This methodology builds upon the assumption that the integrated schema has to support queries and updates on all underlying local schemas. The heterogeneous schemas of Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) and Petri Net Markup Langu...
متن کاملHow hard is this query? Measuring the Semantic Complexity of Schema-agnostic Queries
The growing size, heterogeneity and complexity of databases demand the creation of strategies to facilitate users and systems to consume data. Ideally, query mechanisms should be schema-agnostic, i.e. they should be able to match user queries in their own vocabulary and syntax to the data, abstracting data consumers from the representation of the data. This work provides an informationtheoretic...
