Query Processing in Data Integration

Diego Calvanese


Data integration is the problem of combining data residing at different sources, and providing the user with a unified view of these data. The problem of designing and operating data integration systems is important in current real world applications, and is characterized by a number of issues that are interesting from a theoretical point of view. In this seminar we focus on some of the theoretical issues that are relevant for data integration. Specifically, we investigate the different approaches for modeling a data integration system, and we analyze semantic and computational issues related to query processing in data integration systems. A key aspect is the tight connection between the latter problem and the problem of query processing in the presence of constraints and incomplete information.
