Using WG-Log to Represent Semistructured Data: The Example of OEM
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the possibility to represent synthetically semistructured information via a loose notion of schema: we say that data are semistructured when, although some structure is present, it is not as strict, regular, or complete as the one required by the traditional database management systems. Our proposal is based on WG-Log, a graph based language for the representation of WWW site information. We show how information encoded in a typical semistructured information model, as OEM, can be represented and queried by means of the WG-Log language, and how the TSIMMIS and WG-Log Web Query System can be integrated to allow site content exploration and exploitation by means of WG-Log.

Accommodating Changes in Semistructured Databases Using Multidimensional OEM
Multidimensional Semistructured Data (MSSD) are semistructured data that present di erent facets under di erent contexts. Contexts represent alternative worlds, and are expressed by assigning values to a set of user-de ned variables called dimensions. The notion of context has been incorporated in OEM, and the extended model is called Multidimensional OEM (MOEM), a graph model for MSSD. In this...

متن کاملMultidimensional Semistructured Data: Representing Context-Dependent Information on the Web
In this paper, we address a problem common in the frame of WWW, namely, representing information that assumes different facets under different contexts (sets of worlds). For expressing context-dependent (or multidimensional) data, we introduce Multidimensional Semistructured Data, where context is defined through (dimension, value) pairs. An extension of OEM called Multidimensional Object Excha...
متن کاملA 068 Ozone : Integrating Structured and Semistructured Data ?
Applications have an increasing need to manage semistructured data (such as XML) along with conventional structured data. We extend the structured object database model ODMG and its query language OQL with the ability to handle semistructured data based on the OEM model and Lorel language, and we implement our extensions in a system called Ozone. In our approach, structured data, such as typed ...
