Research Topic - Information Integration
1) The objective of
this research is the design of strategies, techniques and tools for the
integration and management of multi-modal and multimedia information
from distributed, heterogeneous, and autonomous sources. The approach is
primarily grounded into database research. As such it is emphasizing
various ideas such as declarative query languages, conceptual data
models, adaptive processing and optimization of programs and queries,
and the consideration of large numbers of users and large collections of
data. Currently the research is focusing on several the following
themes: XML data management and processing, progressive processing of
disparate information (stream processing), business process definitions
management and integration, and algorithms for web information
(clustering).
The research findings
concern the semantic integration of disparate information sources in
particular integration and management of XML data. The integration and
management of multi-modal information is also concerned with textual and
geographical information indexing, retrieval and extraction as well as
the management of business processes.
Research achievements
include:
-
the first geographical search engine Global Atlas
-
the X007 benchmark
-
the iMinMax indexing technique for multidimensional data
