First, the association matrix isdefined to describe relations between concepts in two ontologies. Then, a methodof rewriting queriesbased on the association matrix is presented to solve the ontology heterogeneity problem. Itrewrites the queries in one ontology to approximate queries in another ontology based on thesubsumption relations between concepts. The method also uses vectors to represent queries, and thencomputes the vectors with the association matrix; the disjoint relations between concepts can beconsidered by the results. It can get better approximations than the methods currently in use, whichdonot consider disjoint relations. The method can be processed by machines automatically. It issimple to implement and expected to run quite fast.展开更多

In this paper we propose an approach to expedite XML query processing by caching the results of frequent queries. We discover frequent query patterns from user-issued queries using an efficient bottom-up mining approach called VBUXMiner. VBUXMiner consists of two main steps. First, all queries are merged into a summary structure named "compressed global tree guide" (CGTG). Second, a bottom-up traversal scheme based on the CGTG is employed to generate frequent query patterns. We use the frequent query patterns in a cache mechanism to improve the XML query performance. Experimental results show that our proposed mining approach outperforms the previous mining algorithms for XML queries, such as XQPMinerTID and FastXMiner, and that by caching the results of frequent query patterns, XML query performance can be dramatically improved.展开更多

A solution to querying in Peer-to-Peer(P2P) environment was proposed to achieve both low processing cost in terms of the number of peers accessed and search messages and balanced query loads among peers. The system is based on a balanced tree structured P2P network. By partitioning the query space intelligently, the amount of query forwarding is effectively controlled, and the number of peers involved and search messages are also limited. Dynamic load balancing can be achieved during space partitioning and query resolving. Extensive experiments confirm the effectiveness and scalability of our algorithms on P2P networks.展开更多

Conjunctive queries stemmed from the domain of relational databases, and have attracted more attentions in semantic Web recently. To acquire a tractable DL for query answering, DL-Lite is proposed. Due to the large amount of imprecision and uncertainty in the real world, it is essential to extend DLs to deal with these vague and imprecise information. We thus propose a new fuzzy DL f-DLR-Lite.n, which allows for the presence of n-ary relations and the occurrence of concept conjunction on the left land of inclusion axioms. We also suggest an improved fuzzy query language, which supports the presence of thresholds and user defined weights. We also show that the query answering algorithm over the extended DL is still FOL reducible and shows polynomial data complexity. DL f-DLR-Lite,n can make up for the disadvantages of knowledge representation and reasoning of classic DLs, and the enhanced query language expresses user intentions more precisely and reasonably.展开更多

Due to the restricted size and resources of these smaller devices, current works mostly limit the queries that can be posed by users by having them predetermined by the developers. This limits the capability of these devices in supporting robust queries. Hence, this paper proposes a universal relation based database querying language which is targeted for small devices. The language allows formulation of relational database queries that uses minimal query terms. The formulation of the language and its structure will be described and usability test results will be presented to support the effectiveness of the language.展开更多

The authors designed 5 search tasks and each participant conducted two randomly selected search tasks during the experiment. The results show that when searching for pre-designed search tasks, users often have relatively clear goals and strategies before searching. When formulating their queries, users often select words from tasks, use concrete concepts directly, or extract 'central words' or keywords. When reformulating queries, seven query reformulation types were identified from users' behaviors, i.e. broadening, narrowing, issuing new query, paralleling, changing search tools, reformulating syntax terms, and clicking on suggested queries. The results reveal that the search results and/or the contexts can also influence users' querying behaviors.展开更多

What queries are "tractable" on big data? How can we make big data "small" so that it is feasible to find exact query answers?When exact answers are beyond reach in practice, what approximation theory can help us strike a balance between the quality of approximate query answers and the costs of computing such answers? To get sensible query answers in big data,what else do we necessarily do in addition to coping with the size of the data?
