Philosophical Views about Digital Information and Relational Schemata
نویسنده
چکیده
Philosophy of Information is an active contemporary branch of philosophy, dealing with problems in the analysis of the concept of information, in semantics, in the study of intelligence, in the relation between information and nature, and in the investigation of values[1]. There are many contributions about the ontological nature of information, the definition of data and the philosophical approaches to semantic information; one important publication is the review presentation of Floridi in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy[2], where amongst others he introduces an extension of Mathematical theory of Communication (Sannon’s information theory[3]) in the area of semantics.

Object-Oriented Views of Relational Databases Incorporating Behaviour
The derivation of object-oriented (OO) views of relational databases has been a important research topic, in particular in the context of federated databases using an OO-model as the common datamodel. So far, such views have concerned data structures only. We argue that it is meaningful to extend the scope of OO-views to include methods and constraints derived from applications on the underlyin...
متن کاملPairwise-Definable Subdirect Decompositions of General Database Schemata
One of the most important results in the theory of decomposition of universal relational schemata is the equivalence of acyclicity of the hypergraph of the schema to numerous desirable properties regarding simplicity of constraints, correctness of query evaluation algorithms, and complexity of integrity maintenance. In this paper, we show that the thrust of these results is not specific to the ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Impact of Information Quality on Relationship Marketing with Mediating Role of Salespeople’ Relational Competency: Survey about Iranian ISP
Despite the vital role of information in relational-oriented firms, there are limited studies on the impact of information quality on relationship marketing. To address this gap, this study develops a conceptual model to examine the impact of information quality on the successful implementation of relationship marketing by assessing the mediating role of salespeople's relational competency. The...
متن کاملSeeking the divine in evolution: implicit parallelism and Nietzsche
The most fascinating claim of the genetic algorithm is that apportionment of credit to schemata is accomplished implicitly, with no information explicitly revealed about which schemata are being favored or disfavored. From a philosophical perspective, this idea makes a claim about what is knowable or rather unknowable about evolution, especially in terms of what is good and bad within us.
متن کاملQuerying Heterogeneous Object Views of a Relational Database
We present the query processing algorithm for the Penguin system. Penguin supports multiple object views on a relational database, so that data may be shared by applications with heterogeneous object schemata. Penguin also o ers an interface for the C++ language. We have developed a query processing algorithm for querying composite object views. The query algorithm takes a query on a composite ...
