Querying for Information Integration: How to go from an Imprecise Intent to a Precise Query?
Aditya Telang, Sharma Chakravarthy, Chengkai Li · 2008
In this paper, we address the problem of query formulation in the context of multi-domain integration of heterogeneous data on the Web. We argue that effectively tackling this problem requires solutions to query specification and refinement, development and organization of domain taxonomies, and designing query templates to incorporate spatial and temporal conditions across multiple domains. We discuss our approaches in designing the query formulation component for InfoMosaic, our proposed framework for multi-domain information integration. 1
