In many applications one has to fetch and assemble pieces of information coming from more than one source for building a semantic warehouse offering more advanced query capabilities. In this paper we describe the corresponding requirements and challenges, and we focus on the aspects of quality and value of the warehouse. For this reason we introduce various metrics (or measures) for quantifying...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of Visual Storytelling Warehouse, an interactive XML-based automatic cartoonstyle visual storytelling system to generate new stories based on written story structures and user’s requirements. The Warehouse will consist of the visual and no-visual elements including characters, events, background images, and story plots. Each of these elements will be asso...

man raises level of his needs by falsifying the nature and construction of the built spaces. by examining various aspects and complex dimensions of the human, variable and different needs can be clearly seen. therefore, an architectural construction, especially housing, should be able to set the access conditions to meet the highest level of the needs and achieve to the highest level of respons...

ABSTRACT Star schemas are used in data warehouses as the primary storage mechanism for dimensional data that is to be queried efficiently. Star schemas are the final result of the extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes that are used in building the data warehouse. Efficiently building the star schema is important, especially as the data volumes that are required to be stored in the data w...
