A Deductive Database Solution to Intelligent Information Retrieval from Legacy Databases

چکیده
In this paper, we will report on the experience of building a successful industrial application using the LDL++ deductive database as part of the technology transfer process to our sponsor company, Eastman Chemical Company. We will describe the nature of the problems faced by Eastman Chemical Company and show how the LDL++ deductive database technology helps to build an Intelligent Information Retrieval System (IIRS) to solve their problems. We will also elaborate separately on the specific benefits contributed by the IIRS, Deductive Database technology and the LDL++ system. Lastly, we will share some of the invaluable lessons learned from the experience.

متن کاملThe WHIRL Approach to Integration: An Overview
We describe a new integration system, in which information sources are converted into a highly structured collection of small fragments of text. Database-like queries to this structured collection of text fragments are approximated using a novel logic called WHIRL, which combines inference in the style of deductive databases with ranked retrieval methods from information retrieval. WHIRL allows...
متن کاملDeductive Information Retrieval Based on Classifications
Modern fact databases contain abundant data classified through several classifications. Typically users must consult these classifications in separate manuals or files thus making their effective use difficult. Contemporary database systems do little to support deductive use of classifications. In this paper we show how deductive data management techniques can be applied to the utilization of d...
متن کاملComparison of Bibliographic Databases in Retrieving Information on Telemedicine
Background & Aims: Some of the main questions which can be of importance for those researchers who intend to perform a systematic review in a field of science are: ‘What databases should I use for my review?’; ‘Do all these databases have the same value?’; and ‘Which sourcesretrieved the highest of relevant references?’. The main aim of this work was the identification of the best database for ...
