Modelling Geo Data for Location-based Services

Probabilistic Data Modeling and Querying for Location-Based Data Warehouses

Motivated by the increasing need to handle complex, dynamic, uncertain multidimensional data in location-based warehouses, this paper proposes a novel probabilistic data model that can address the complexities of such data. The model provides a foundation for handling complex hierarchical and uncertain data, e.g., data from the location-based services domain such as transportation infrastructur...

Keyword-based querying for XML and RDF

Various query languages for Web and Semantic Web data, both for practical use and as an area of research in the scientific community, have emerged in recent years. At the same time, the broad adoption of the internet where keyword search is used in many applications, e.g. search engines, has familiarized casual users with using keyword queries to retrieve information on the internet. Unlike thi...
