Wrapping Topic Maps in an Object-Relational Database System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this thesis project is to develop an XTM (XML Topic Maps) wrapper, called XTMWrapper, for the functional and object-oriented DBMS Amos II so that XTM files can be accessed through Amos II using its query language, AmosQL. The wrapper can be used as a database loader for XTM files. The wrapper parses XTM files, translates them into an Amos II data representation, and populates the Amos II database. To represent imported Topic Map data in Amos II, a schema for Topic Maps is developed in terms of its functional data model. The schema represents any Topic Map independent of what the Topic Map describes. The wrapper is written in Java and utilizes a publicly available Topic Map engine, TM4J (Topic Map for Java).

A Software System for Viewing and Querying Automatically Generated Topic Maps in the E-learning Domain
Topic Maps represent a recent technology for structuring and retrieval of information, based on principles used in traditional indexes and thesauri, drawing inspiration from semantic networks. In the e-learning domain Topic Maps have a greater importance as a content management technology, but also because they fill in the gap between information and knowledge. Because many e-learning systems u...
متن کاملMetadata-based modeling of information resources on the Web
This paper deals with the problem of modeling Web information resources using expert knowledge and personalized user information for improved Web searching capabilities. We propose a “Web information space” model, which is composed of Web-based information resources (HTML/XML [Hypertext Markup Language/Extensible Markup Language] documents on the Web), expert advice repositories (domain-expert-...
متن کاملApplications of topic maps in knowledge management systems
This paper gives a short overview not only of the basic concepts of topic maps, but also of the advanced concepts. This document discusses a metadata structure, which allows making a topic map persistent within a relational database. To make integrity checks within topic maps possible, several constraint mechanisms are introduced. Additionally, for building world-wide internet directory service...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Temporal Extension of SQL
We present a valid-time extension of SQL and investigate its efficient implementation on an Object-Relational database system. We propose an approach where temporal queries are expressed using a point-based time model, which only requires minimal extensions to SQL:1999. Our prototype system called TENORS (for Temporal ENhanced Object-Relational System) maps the external point-based temporal que...
متن کاملExtending the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus Based on the Concept of Accessibility of Moving Objects in the Paths
Qualitative spatial representation and reasoning are among the important capabilities in intelligent geospatial information system development. Although a large contribution to the study of moving objects has been attributed to the quantitative use and analysis of data, such calculations are ineffective when there is little inaccurate data on position and geometry or when explicitly explaining ...
