This paper presents a reference framework, called BUD, to manage a large shared bank of unstructured data. This paper lists several important issues on managing or maintaining the unstructured data in BUD. BUD stores and manages the ever-growing unstructured data by introducing a novel technique called free-table, which is a conceptual view for end-users and a physical entity maintained by transactional...
Video has become popular in our daily life for both professional and consumer applications. Both low level video processing and high level semantic video analysis are critically computational tasks in application domains. Most of current video computing tools are developed for specific analytic tasks, they are lack higher level interoperability with database and treat database merely as a relational...
With rapid advances in video processing technologies, video data increased rapidly and becomes popular in our daily life for both professional and consumer applications, e.g., surveillance, education, entertainment. Such needs require the data management system not only can store and access the video content, but also able to optimize the queries with expensive video predications in an effective and...
Keyword search over relational databases (KSORD) enables casual users to use keyword queries (a set of keywords) to search relational databases just like searching the Web, without any knowledge of the database schema or any need of writing SQL queries. In KSORD, retrieval of user's initial query is often unsatisfying. User has to reformulate his query and execute the new query, which costs much time...
With the rapid development of information retrieval technology and daily increasing information in the Internet, common users can retrieve many text-based database and get part of the information through the search engines such as Google, and Baidu. However, there is a great amount of data contained in the background relational database of web pages. So there are many researches focusing on the search...
Detecting and exploiting correlations among columns in relational databases are of great value for query optimizers to generate better query execution plans (QEPs). We propose a more robust and informative metric, namely, entropy correlation coefficients, other than chi-square test to detect correlations among columns in large datasets. We introduce a novel yet simple kind of multi-dimensional synopses...
It is widely realized that the integration of database and information retrieval techniques will provide users with a wide range of high quality services. In this paper, we study processing an l-keyword query, p1, p1, ..., pl, against a relational database which can be modeled as a weighted graph, G(V, E). Here V is a set of nodes (tuples) and E is a set of edges representing foreign key references...
Ontology provides a shared and reusable piece of knowledge about a specific domain, and has been applied in many fields, such as semantic Web, e-commerce and information retrieval, etc. However, building ontology by hand is a very hard and error-prone task. Learning ontology from existing resources is a good solution. Because relational database is widely used for storing data and OWL is the latest...
