This document defines a number of changes and extensions to the Policy Core Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Schema (RFC 3703) based on the model extensions defined by the Policy Core Information Model (PCIM) Extensions (RFC 3460). These changes and extensions consist of new LDAP object classes and attribute types. Some of the schema items defined in this document re-implement exist...

Schema integration is the process of consolidating several source schemas to generate a unified view, called the mediated schema, so that information scattered in the sources can be served uniformly from the mediated schema. Schema integration occurs in many scenarios such as data integration, logical database design, data warehousing and schema evolution. To make the mediated schema useful for...

Construction-based approaches to syntax (Croft, 2001; Goldberg, 2003) posit a lexicon populated by units of various sizes, as envisaged by (Langacker, 1987). Constructions may be specified completely, as in the case of simple morphemes or idioms such as take it to the bank, or partially, as in the expression what’s X doing Y?, where X and Y are slots that admit fillers of particular types (Kay ...

The metadata schema of a digital archive describes the structure and attributes of metadata. Analysis and definition of metadata schema for a new digital archive must be carefully carried out and determined at the first stage of development. To ease the task, we used an Extensible Markup Language (XML) structure to represent the metadata schema, and then designed and implemented a metadata sche...

This paper presents new theoretical results on GA and GP schemata which allow one to predict with a known probability whether the number of instances of a given schema at the next generation is going to be above a given threshold. Unlike previous results, the schema theory presented in this paper does not use expected values and accounts for schema creation.

Today schema matching is a basic problem in almost every data intensive distributed application, namely enterprise information integration, collaborating web services, ontology based agents communication, web catalogue integration and schema based P2P database systems. There has been a plethora of algorithms and techniques researched in schema matching and integration for data interoperability....

Schema matching is recognized to be one of the basic operations required by the process of data and schema integration, and thus has a great impact on its outcome. We propose a new approach to combining matchers into ensembles, called Schema Matcher Boosting (SMB). This approach is based on a well-known machine learning technique, called boosting. We present a boosting algorithm for schema matc...

New experiences are remembered in relation to one's existing world knowledge or schema. Recent research suggests that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) supports the retrieval of schema-congruent information. However, the neural mechanisms supporting memory for information violating a schema have remained elusive, presumably because incongruity is inherently ambiguous in tasks that rely on wor...
