Tractable Query Answering in Indefinite Constraint Databases: Basic Results and Applications to Querying Spatiotemporal Information
[chapter]
1999
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Under this assumption, we show that there are several general classes of databases and queries for which query evaluation can be done with PTIME data complexity. ...
Tractable query answering problems for indefinite temporal and spatial constraint databases are identified in this way. ...
This research has been partially supported by European project CHOROCHRONOS (funded under Framework IV) and by a grant from the Greek Secretariat for Research and Technology. ...

Challenges for Efficient Query Evaluation on Structured Probabilistic Data
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
This paper presents a vision for a database management system for probabilistic data built following this structural approach. ...
However, a new approach for this problem has recently been proposed, based on structural decompositions of input databases, following, e.g., tree decompositions. ...
All these methods would be generally intractable in the query, which is unsurprising: indeed, PQE is often intractable even for languages with tractable combined complexity, and efficient compilation to ...

Using Ontologies for Semantic Data Integration
[chapter]
2017
Studies in Big Data
Over the past two decades, the idea of using semantics for data integration has become increasingly crucial, and has received much attention in the AI, database, web, and data mining communities. ...
Here, we focus on a specific paradigm for semantic data integration, called Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA). ...
As for the query language, we note that going beyond unions of CQs is problematic from the point of view of tractability, or even decidability. ...

Efficient Reasoning Using the Local Closed-World Assumption
[chapter]
2000
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The approach is based on the use of circumscription and quanti er elimination techniques and inference is viewed as querying a deductive database. ...
Both the preprocessing of the database using circumscription and quanti er elimination, and the inference method itself, have polynomial time and space complexity. In ...
Conclusions We have extended and subsumed the LCW querying techniques described in 9 , 3, 4 , and 10 and presented a tractable algorithm. ...

Making queries tractable on big data with preprocessing
2013
Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment
This paper aims to provide a formal foundation for this approach in terms of computational complexity. (1) We propose a set of Π-tractable queries, denoted by ΠT 0 Q , to characterize classes of queries ...
set ΠT Q of query classes that can be effectively converted to Π-tractable queries by re-factorizing its data and queries for preprocessing. ...
When we study the complexity class of all Π-tractable queries, we consider w.l.o.g. Boolean query languages Q [1], as usual. ...

Object-Relational Database Based Category Data Model for Natural Language Interface to Database
2011
International Journal of Artificial Intelligence & Applications
In this paper an effective category model is presented to organize information according to their contents based on object-relational database. ...
Domain specific question answering technique allows users to use natural language to express their queries so that users need not have the knowledge about the structures of the information source. ...
The query language used in object-relational database is the ORSQL that is a dialect of SQL-3. ...

OnGIS: Ontology Driven Geospatial Search and Integration
2012
International Semantic Web Conference
Helping non-expert users to query over complex spatial data requires abstracting from GIS services and operations. This paper introduces an abstraction layer based on OWL ontologies. ...
The language OWL 2 QL has been chosen as it performs open-world semantic web reasoning suitable for data integration, while having good computational properties. ...
The main advantage of OWL 2 QL over OWL 2 DL is its tractability, which allows for storing instances in a relational database and posing ontological queries 2 by means of query reformulation to SQL 3 . ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We study languages for manipulating partially ordered structures with duplicates (e.g. trees, lists). As a general framework, we consider the pomset (partially ordered multiset) datatype. ...
We introduce an algebra for pomsets, which generalizes traditional algebras for (nested) sets, bags and lists. ...
