Declustering techniques reduce query response times through parallel I/O by distributing data among multiple devices. Most of the research on declustering is targeted at spatial r...
Highly heterogeneous XML data collections that do not have a global schema, as arising, for example, in federations of digital libraries or scientific data repositories, cannot be...
Current search engines do not fully leverage semantically rich datasets, or specialise in indexing just one domainspecific dataset. We present a search engine that uses the RDF da...
