Although the problems of querying databases in natural language are well understood, the performance of database updates via natural language introduces additional difficulties. This thesis examines the problems encountered in interpreting natural language updates, and describes an implemented system that performs simple updates. The difficulties associated with natural language updates result ...

In this paper, we describe the 02 database programming language as it is currently implemented. We first show how 02 provides the user with both obThe next choice concerned the programming lanjects and complex values. Then, we present the guage of the system. Among the possible solutions persistence management of 02. We describe how (extending an e.xisting language, designing a new objects are ...

The language BCOOL is formally de ned using a denotational seman tics approach BCOOL is a functional object database language with a very exible yet strong and statically checked type system Its main source of exibility is its support for object evolution that is dynamic type changes of existing objects Originally BCOOLwas used as a formal basis for a more traditional relational algebra style d...

In our day-to-day life we always have to deal with information and information is playing an important role in our lives. The main source of information is database. Today we all use database technology which are having foremost impact on the growing use of computer almost today all IT application stores and retrieves the information from the database. To retrieve the information from database ...

This paper presents a formal ‘fragment’ of database semantics as a declarative model of a cognitive agent. It is called a SLIM machine and functionally integrates the procedures of natural language interpretation, conceptualization, and production as well as query and inference. Each of these functions is illustrated explicitly by a corresponding LA-grammar. In addition, a control structure bas...

The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) creates and provides language resources (LRs) including data, tools and specifications. In order to assess the impact of these LRs and to support both LR users and authors, LDC is collecting metadata about and URLs for research papers that introduce, describe, critique, extend or rely upon LDC LRs. Current collection efforts focus on papers published in jour...

As the most widely used data model, the relational data model has undergone extensions since it was first introduced. The motivation is mainly to increase the ability in capturing complex real world problems. The new era of Internet databases, which includes document meta-data repository and multi media databases have raised a need for more complex semantics of data modeling. Thus, the existing...
