El objetivo del proyecto Portal da Língua Portuguesa es construir, con un doble
objetivo, un juego de recursos léxicos. En primer lugar, estos recursos sirven como fuente de
información para una página web sobre la lengua portuguesa para el público…

This paper presents a data structure based on Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS) for similarity searching. An algorithm that tries periodically to adjust pivots to the use of database index is presented. This index is dynamic. In this way, it is…

During the last years a lot of projects and lines of research have emerged from different proposals trying to find the best way to reach data integration. Two powerful techniques have appeared separately – ontology and contextual information – in…

The Semantic Web attempts to reach a state in the future where everything on the Web will no longer be only machine-readable, but also machine-understandable. An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization. A conceptualization is an abstract, simplified…

Vertical partitioning, in which attributes of a relation are
assigned to partitions, is aimed at improving database
performance. We extend previous research that is based on
a single relation to multi-relation database environment,
by including referential integrity constraints, access time

Este artículo presenta un método de identificación y clasificación de la valencia y las
emociones presentes en un texto. Para ello, se introduce un nuevo concepto denominado
disparador de emoción. Inicialmente, se construye de forma incremental una base de datos

During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components. The use of COTS software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art…

This book provides an excellent foundation for the principles of database and data management. It explains some of the more difficult concepts fairly well. The book is meant for an introductory course in database management which is usually required as…

Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, called Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS).
The main characteristic of this method is that it…

This paper presents an evolution of a simulation environment where situations in which a DDB should maintain data integrity are modeled and implemented. These situations include failures taking place during transactions, and the focus is mainly on the utilization and…
