SPARQL with Qualitative and Quantitative Preferences
نویسندگان
چکیده
The volume and diversity of data that is queriable via SPARQL and its increasing integration motivate the desire to query SPARQL information sources via the specification of preferred query outcomes. Such preference-based queries support the ordering of query outcomes with respect to a user’s measure of the quality of the response. In this position paper we argue for the incorporation of preference queries into SPARQL. We propose an extension to the SPARQL query language that supports the specification of qualitative and quantitative preferences over query outcomes and examine the realization of the resulting preferencebased queries via off-the-shelf SPARQL engines.

Context-sensitive Team Formation: Towards Model- Based Context Reasoning and Update
Selection problems tend to have two aspects: one that is structural and one that is quantitative in nature. Here we investigate a method that allows decisions on both aspects. The paper considers a typical example, that of selecting members for a team, where decisions are based on context information. We show that graph transformations are providing a solution to the structural selection, while...
متن کاملAn Extension of SPARQL for Expressing Qualitative Preferences
In this paper we present SPREFQL, an extension of the SPARQL language that allows appending a "PREFER" clause that expresses ‘soft’ preferences over the query results obtained by the main body of the query. The extension does not add expressivity and any SPREFQL query can be transformed to an equivalent standard SPARQL query. However, clearly separating preferences from the ‘hard’ patterns and ...
متن کاملPreference Queries with Ceteris Paribus Semantics for Linked Data
Preference representation and reasoning play a central role in supporting users with complex and multi-factorial decision processes. In fact, user tastes can be used to filter information and data in a personalized way, thus maximizing their expected utility. Over the years, many frameworks and languages have been proposed to deal with user preferences. Among them, one of the most prominent for...
متن کاملSparQ - A Spatial Reasoning Toolbox
SparQ is a toolbox for qualitative spatial reasoning. Interpreting reasoning in a broad sense, SparQ covers mapping information from quantitative to qualitative, applying constraint reasoning to qualitative information, reasoning about calculi, and mapping qualitative information back to the quantitative domain. The toolbox is designed for extensibility and released under the GNU GPL public lic...
متن کاملLogical Probability Preferences
We present a unified logical framework for representing and reasoning about both probability quantitative and qualitative preferences in probability answer set programming [Saad and Pontelli, 2006; Saad, 2006; Saad, 2007a], called probability answer set optimization programs. The proposed framework is vital to allow defining probability quantitative preferences over the possible outcomes of qua...
