Simulation Unification: Beyond Querying Semistructured Data (Invited Talk)
François Bry, Sebastian Schaffert · DROPS (Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics) · 2012
This article first reminds of simulation unification, a non-standard unification proposed at the 18th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2002) for making logic programming capable of querying semistructured data on the Web. This article further argues that, beyond querying semistructured data on the Web, simulation unification has a potential for Web querying of multimedia data and semantic metadata and for Web searching of data of all kinds.
