Semantic heterogeneity in distributed geographic databases

This paper considers the special problems of semantic heterogeneity in a distributed system of databases containing spatially referenced information. Two forms of semantic heterogeneity are defined. Generic semantic heterogeneity arises when nodes ...

Semantic Enrichment of Relational Databases
IWAISE '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE Second International Workshop on Advanced Information Systems for Enterprises

With new technologies the semantic representation started to be highly requested especially for the stored data. Lately works to integrate ontologies within databases have appeared in order to store data with their semantics. In this paper we present a ...
