cumulative:<br><br>Projects 40pts (out of 100)<br>Exams 35pts (out of 100)<br>Homeworks 20pts (out of 100)<br> participation 5pts (out of 100)<br><br>The three project parts and the demo were all taken together to be 10pts each<br>homeworks were each taken to be 5pts<br>Exams were both taken to be 17.5pts each<br>participation grade is a numeric translation of the letter grade (in a 1-5 range). <br> <br><br>If you see any discrepancies or have reservations about the way I computed the cumulative, let me know ASAP. <br><br>regards<br>Rao<br><br> Subbarao

One is what does it mean to do keyword search on structured data such as RDF. The second is whether keyword queries have to converted into some form of structured queries just to run on RDF (or RDBMS).<div> <br></div><div>This issue has received significant attention in the DB community (recall that RDF can be seen as just a format for Relational data), so let us start there.</div><div><br></div><div>Suppose I have a database, and a user gives a keyword query, what tuples in the database should be given as answers to this query? </div> <div><br></div><div>The answer is simple if the database has a single table--you just select all the rows that have the keywords in them (modulo some tf/idf extension)</div><div><br></div><div>However, most databases are "normalized"--that is, they split a wide "universal tuple" into many small tables. This means that you can have a situation where the keywords are spread over different rows in different tables. [Suppose we have two table [sid, name] and [sid, hobby] (where sid is student-id) A keyword query "rao tennis" will now have to be answered by seeing if there is a join between these two tables over sid that gives a row which has both rao and tennis in it. [The issues remain same whether the database is in RDF format or normal RDBMS one]</div> <div><br></div><div>So, answering keyword queries will require you to either do arbitrary joins during the query processing stage, or *de-normalize* the database up-front so that you have the full universal relation in front of you (and so can do simple row selection). The former would require more work during query time (in as much as it will force you to rewrite the keyword query into a set of join queries), while the latter kills the structure to support keyword queries. </div> <div><br></div><div>The latter approach, as counter-intuitive as it might look for a database person--is actually the one that is used by most search engines that allow keyword access to large-scale databases (in fact, they write each individual universal tuple out as an html file. This process is given a fancy name--"Surfacing of the deep web"). </div> <div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The former approach--involving query-time joins to reconstruct universal tuples--started with a system called "BANKS". The problem becomes harder when the primary-key/foreign key joins between the various tables are lost, as might be the case for web databases. See <a href="http://rakaposhi.eas.asu.edu/smartint-icde10.pdf">http://rakaposhi.eas.asu.edu/smartint-icde10.pdf</a></div> <div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>=======</div><div>As for the answer to the second question--whether keyword queries get converted to SQL-style queries, "yes" if you use Banks-style approach and "no" if you do surfacing. </div> <div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Hope this answers your question.</div><div><br></div><div>Rao</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div> <div><div><br></div><div><br><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 1:27 PM, Siva N <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:snatara5@asu.edu" target="_blank">snatara5@asu.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>Professor,<br><br>I was having some questions about supporting search on RDF data..<br><br>I understand that RDF/RDFS data defines ontology and more semantics to the data and is much closer to structured data such as in relational DB.

Look at the papers being presented at the World Wide Web Conference this week <br> (the program --along with most of the pdf files--is available at <a href="http://www2010.org/www/program/papers/" target="_blank">http://www2010.org/www/program/papers/</a> ; if you are interested in a particular paper but the pdf is not available, you can probably google the authors' pages--technical paper authors tend to be a narcissistic bunch and will put every paper up on their web page as soon as it is accepted ;-) <br> <br>2. Check out the "abstracts" of the papers whose titles seem interesting to you based broadly on the aims of this course.<br> <br>3. If you like the abstract, try reading the introduction (optional, but recommended).<div><br></div><div>4.

So, you actually<br> do have a shot of understanding the directions of most working being done at the state-of-the-art (and in some cases even understand their contribution). <br> <br>Rather than ask you to take this assertion at face value, I would like to encourage you to "do it" and thus "see it to believe it" as it were ;-) [Plus, this is a rather cheap way for me to figure out which WWW papers to read.]<br> <br>Rao<br><br><br><br><br><br><br> </div></div></div> </div><br> Subbarao Kambhampatihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08449853328445416609noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321439654010216477.post-21767901519384707872010-04-27T15:30:00.000-07:002010-04-27T16:36:09.696-07:00Mandatory Blog qn (You should post your answer as a comment to this thread ) <div class="post-header"> </div> Here is the "interactive review" question that I promised. <br><br>"List five nontrivial ideas you came to appreciate during the course of this semester"<br>(You cannot list generic statements like "I thought pagerank was cool".

So, I am contemplating holding an extra class meeting on Friday. Please vote on the poll below so I can get a sense of your availability. I will use that to decide whether and what time to hold the class. [Please vote wednesday night so I can make arrangements and announce by Thursday's class.]<br> <br>regards<br>Rao<br><br><a href="http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/483082">http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/483082</a><br><br><br> Subbarao Kambhampatihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08449853328445416609noreply@blogger.com0
