Preserving Mapping Consistency under Schema Changes
- The VLDB Journal
, 2004
"... Abstract. In dynamic environments like the Web, data sources may change not only their data but also their schemas, their semantics, and their query capabilities. When a mapping is left inconsistent by a schema change, it has to be detected and updated. We present a novel framework and a tool (ToMAS ..."

that are consistent with the semantics of the changed schemas. Our approach explicitly models mapping choices made by a user and maintains these choices, whenever possible, as the schemas and mappings evolve. When there is more than one candidate rewriting, the algorithm may rank them based on how close
ToMAS: Mapping Adaptation Under Evolving Schemas ∗
"... To achieve interoperability, modern information systems and e-commerce applications use mappings to translate data from one representation to another. In dynamic environments like the Web, data sources may change not only their data but also their schemas, their semantics, and their query capabiliti ..."

for relational and XML schemas with choice types and (nested) constraints. Our algorithm detects mappings affected by a structural or constraint change and generates all the rewritings that are consistent with the semantics of the mapped schemas. Our approach explicitly models mapping choices made by a user
XML Schema Mappings: Data Exchange and Metadata Management
"... Relational schema mappings have been extensively studied in connection with data integration and exchange problems, but mappings between XML schemas have not received the same amount of attention. Our goal is to develop a theory of expressive XML schema mappings. Such mappings should be able to use ..."

. We show that the problem is tractable for expressive schema mappings and simple queries, but not vice versa. Then we move to static analysis. We study the complexity of the consistency problem, i.e., deciding whether it is possible to map some document of a source schema into a document of the target
DOI 10.1007/s00778-012-0302-x SPECIAL ISSUE PAPER Automating the database schema evolution process
"... Abstract Supporting database schema evolution repre-sents a long-standing challenge of practical and theoretical importance for modern information systems. In this paper, we describe techniques and systems for automating the critical tasks of migrating the database and rewriting the legacy applicati ..."

legacy queries and updates under schema and integrity constraints evolution. The PRISM/PRISM++ approach consists in providing the users with a set of SQL-based Schema Modification Opera-tors (SMOs), which describe how the tables in the old schema are modified into those in the new schema. In order to sup
Synthesizing transformations from XML schema mappings
"... XML schema mappings have been developed and studied in the context of XML data exchange, where a source document has to be restructured under the target schema according to certain rules. The rules are specified with a mapping, which consists of a set of source-to-target dependencies based on tree p ..."

Using contextual and lexical information to map terms of schemas
"... It exist many methods of research of similarities between the elements in the schemas. Traditional measurements are based on the similarity between the strings. Such measurements are founded on the following intuition: more the strings characterizing the terms are similar, more “semantically ” close ..."

), (like: auto/car). Thus, we proposed a new approach to avoid such a problem by studying the context of the term. Within the framework of the mapping of elements of schema, the context of an element can represent the under-trees of an element (context descendent), key words characterizing it, etc. In our
Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

In this article I aim at clarifying the theoretical implications that can be induced from my observation of contemporary social structures and social change
Multilingual Schema Matching for Wikipedia Infoboxes
, 2011

Recent research has taken advantage of Wikipedia’s multi-lingualism as a resource for cross-language information re-trieval and machine translation, as well as proposed tech-niques for enriching its cross-language structure. The avail-ability of documents in multiple languages also opens up new oppo ..."

Database Schema Evolution using EVER Diagrams

, 1994
"... We present an approach to schema evolution through changes to the ER diagram representing the schema of a database. In order to facilitate changes to the ER schema we enhance the graphical constructs used in ER diagrams, and develop EVER, an EVolutionary ER diagram for specifying the derivation rela ..."

In this paper, we demonstrate the mapping of the EVER diagram into an underlying database and the construction of database views for schema versions. Through the reconstruction
