We consider the problem of deciding query equivalence for a conjunctive language in which queries output complex objects composed from a mixture of nested, unordered collection ty...
A distributed XML document is an XML document that spans several machines or Web repositories. We assume that a distribution design of the document tree is given, providing an XML...
Querying uncertain data has emerged as an important problem in data management due to the imprecise nature of many measurement data. In this paper we study answering range queries...

Let be a finite, ordered alphabet, and consider a string x = x1x2 . . . xn n . A secondary index for x answers alphabet range queries of the form: Given a range [al, ar] , retu...
In this work we investigate the satisfiability problem for the logic XPath( , , =), that includes all downward axes as well as equality and inequality tests. We address this probl...
The paper investigates the question of whether a partially closed database has complete information to answer a query. In practice an enterprise often maintains master data Dm, a ...
