Conceptual Data Model with Structured Objects for Statistical Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a conceptual data model, called SDM, which is able to represent the relationships between elementary and statistical data at a conceptual level. SDM borrows elements from research both in Object Oriented Databases and in Knowledge Representation. In addition it has suitable mechanisms to form classes of individuals by classifying the instances of a target class according to some speci-ed criteria. Notably, the class resulting from such a statistical aggregation can then be treated exactly as a class of elementary data. This ability fulllls the often perceived necessity, in modeling real domains, of treating statistical aggregates and elementary data in an homogeneous way.

متن کاملA model-based conceptual clustering of moving objects in video surveillance
Data mining techniques have been applied in video databases to identify various patterns or groups. Clustering analysis is used to find the patterns and groups of moving objects in video surveillance systems. Most existing methods for the clustering focus on finding the optimum of overall partitioning. However, these approaches cannot provide meaningful descriptions of the clusters. Also, they ...
متن کاملGraph-Based Hierarchical Conceptual Clustering in Structural Databases
Cluster analysis has been studied and developed in many areas for a wide variety of applications. The purpose of applying clustering to a database is to gain better understanding of the data, in many cases through revealing hierarchical topologies. We are working on extending the Subdue structural knowledge discovery system with clustering functionalities. Past works related to ours are an incr...
متن کاملStructured Large Objects in Databases
Emerging database applications like genomic, biological, and multimedia databases process application objects that are complex, highly structured, and of variable representation length. At the DBMS implementation level, large objects (LOBs), originally designed for unstructured data and equipped with a simple, low-level interface, are so far the only available method for persistently storing su...
متن کاملDiscovering Association Rules in Semi-structured Data Sets
The discovery of association rules is one of the classic problems of data mining. Typically, it is done over well-structured data, such as databases. In this paper, we present a method of discovery of association rules in semi-structured data, namely, in a set of conceptual graphs. The method is based on conceptual clustering of the data and constructing of a conceptual hierarchy. A feature of ...
