Data Abstraction and Hierarchy
نویسنده
چکیده
Data abstraction is a valuable method for organizing programs to make them easier to modify and maintain. Inheritance allows one implementation of a data abstraction to be related to another hierarchically. This paper investigates the usefulness of hierarchy in program development, and concludes that although data abstraction is the more important idea, hierarchy does extend its usefulness in some situations.

An Appropriate Abstraction for an Attribute-Oriented Induction
An attribute-oriented induction is a useful data mining method that generalizes databases under an appropriate abstraction hierarchy to extract meaningful knowledge. The hierarchy is well designed so as to exclude meaningless rules from a particular point of view. However, there may exist several ways of generalizing databases according to user's intention. It is therefore important to provide ...
متن کاملProviding Approximate Answers Using a Knowledge Abstraction Database
As database users adopt a query language to obtain information from a database, a more intelligent query answering system is increasingly needed. Relational databases are exact in nature, but effectiveness of decision support would improve significantly if the query answering system returns approximate answers rather than a null information response when there is no matching data available. Thi...
متن کاملVideo Abstraction in H.264/AVC Compressed Domain
Video abstraction allows searching, browsing and evaluating videos only by accessing the useful contents. Most of the studies are using pixel domain, which requires the decoding process and needs more time and process consuming than compressed domain video abstraction. In this paper, we present a new video abstraction method in H.264/AVC compressed domain, AVAIF. The method is based on the norm...

متن کاملAutomatic Construction and Refinement of a Class Hierarchy over Semi-Structured Data
In many applications, it becomes crucial to help users to access to a huge amount of data by clustering them in a small number of classes described at an appropriate level of abstraction. In this paper, we present an approach based on the use of two languages of description of classes for the automatic clustering of semistructured data. The rst language of classes has a high power of abstractio...
