This paper explores the importance of semantic integrity during data warehouse design and its impact on the successful use of the implemented warehouse. This was achieved through a detailed case study. Consequently, a conceptual framework for describing intersubjective meaning in data modelling has been developed. The purpose of the framework is to provide a theoretical basis for explaining how...

Coercion effects, including aspectual ones, appear to indicate a modular grammatical architecture, in which the process of composition may add meanings absent in the syntax in order to ensure that certain functors, e.g., the progressive operator, receive suitable arguments (Herweg 1991, Jackendoff 1997, De Swart 1998). In this paper, coercion effects are instead taken as evidence for the existe...

Information brokers can use information available from content providers to answer complex user queries. To accomplish this task they need descriptions of the domains of content providers.

This paper presents an alg...
