Integrating Information Sources Using Context Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is essential to reduce the cost of integrating information sources and to provide a path that allows for incremental integration that can be responsive to users' demands. This paper presents an approach to integrating disparate heterogeneous information sources that uses context logic. Our use of context logic reduces the up-front cost of integration, provides an incremental integration path, and allows semantic conflicts within a single information sources or between information sources to be expressed and resolved.

Nonmonotonic Multi-Context Systems: A Flexible Approach for Integrating Heterogeneous Knowledge Sources
MCS provide a flexible, principled account of integrating heterogeneous knowledge sources, a task that is becoming more and more relevant. By a knowledge source we mean a knowledge base (KB) formulated in any of the typical knowledge representation languages, including classical logic, description logics, modal or temporal logics, but also nonmonotonic formalisms like logic programs under answe...
متن کاملA Bilattice Based Fixed Point Semantics for Integrating Imperfect Information
We present an approach to reasoning non-uniformly by default with uncertain, incomplete and inconsistent information using sets of rules/extended logic programs in the context of logics with a bilattice structure. A fixed point semantics for extended logic programs used in the process of inference is described, along with its computational approach. We show how this theoretic approach is applic...
متن کاملData Mining , Validation , and Collaborative Knowledge Capture
For large-scale data mining, utilizing data from ubiquitous and mixed-structured data sources, the extraction and integration into a comprehensive data-warehouse is usually of prime importance. Then, appropriate methods for validation and potential refinement are essential. This chapter describes an approach for integrating data mining, information extraction, and validation with collaborative ...
متن کاملIntegration of Information in Four-Valued Logics under Non-Uniform Assumptions
We study the problem of integrating information coming from different sources in a distributed environment. We assume a central server that collects facts from sources and tries to combine them using a set of logical rules, i.e. a logic program. We provide a formal framework for the integration of information in such a setting, under non-uniform assumptions on the missing information.
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
