Querying for Information Integration: How to go from an Imprecise Intent to a Precise Query?

چکیده
In this paper, we address the problem of query formulation in the context of multi-domain integration of heterogeneous data on the Web. We argue that effectively tackling this problem requires solutions to query specification and refinement, development and organization of domain taxonomies, and designing query templates to incorporate spatial and temporal conditions across multiple domains. We discuss our approaches in designing the query formulation component for InfoMosaic, our proposed framework for multi-domain information integration.

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
متن کاملNon-zero probability of nearest neighbor searching
Nearest Neighbor (NN) searching is a challenging problem in data management and has been widely studied in data mining, pattern recognition and computational geometry. The goal of NN searching is efficiently reporting the nearest data to a given object as a query. In most of the studies both the data and query are assumed to be precise, however, due to the real applications of NN searching, suc...
متن کاملAPPLICATION OF DEA FOR SELECTING MOST EFFICIENT INFORMATION SYSTEM PROJECT WITH IMPRECISE DATA
The selection of best Information System (IS) project from many competing proposals is a critical business activity which is very helpful to all organizations. While previous IS project selection methods are useful but have restricted application because they handle only cases with precise data. Indeed, these methods are based on precise data with less emphasis on imprecise data. This paper pro...
متن کاملPrivate Key based query on encrypted data
Nowadays, users of information systems have inclination to use a central server to decrease data transferring and maintenance costs. Since such a system is not so trustworthy, users' data usually upkeeps encrypted. However, encryption is not a nostrum for security problems and cannot guarantee the data security. In other words, there are some techniques that can endanger security of encrypted d...
متن کاملA Multi-Agent System for Querying Heterogeneous Data Sources with Ontologies
In this paper we present the SEWASIE system, a multi-level agent-based architecture for querying heterogeneous data sources integrated by means of ontologies. Main features of this system are: two level data integration scheme, a query tool that supports the user in formulating a precise query, integrated tools for negotiation and information monitoring, and an agent infrastructure that provide...
