2. SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY
2.1 Research Interests
The research activity of Daniele Braga has always been devoted to investigating and extending
the potentialities of query languages, as well as making them easily available to the widest
audience, by means of the study and implementation of effective techniques of translations
between different query languages and the study and implementation of efficient query
executions environments.
Languages for semi-structured data: in his first years of activity, Daniele targeted the newborn
XQuery language and its early implementations as representatives of many languages and
techniques to address structured objects and semi-structured data, ideally encoded in XML. This
lead to studying several extensions of the language with active and reactive behaviors, porting
the principles of the SQL3 specification within the XML world (Active XQuery) [4][34], language
support to the specification of data mining tasks [28][29], relaxations akin to Fuzzy languages
[37], and most importantly with a clean visual syntax for the formulation of simple queries, the
XQBE language (XQuery By Example) [1][9].
XQuery By Example (XQBE): the idea of having visual dialects of a textual query language has
been around ever since, and XQuery is a particularly “hostile” language to non-experts. The
design principles of XQBE were to be inspired by the QBE paradigm and based on a visual
abstraction of the underlying semi-structured XML data model. The visual query paradigm,
moreover, was inspired by logical languages such as WG-Log and XML-GL. The aim of the
language was to support the widest majority of XQuery constructs and the maximum expressive
power still preserving simplicity and intuitiveness. The research directions in this concern were
and are: guided query formulation with the help of the schema definition, extension of the
paradigm to many languages for semi-structured data, extension of the expressive power, relaxed
selection conditions and approximated queries, integration with data services and reactive
behaviors, so as to help the specification of integrity constraints and schema specifications.
The formal syntax and semantics of XQBE are defined in [1].
After 10 years the project is still mentioned and linked on the official W3C XQuery
implementation page (http://www.w3.org/XML/Query#products).
Clip, a visual mapping language: also, Daniele participated to “Clip”, the informal name of a
joint research project with the IBM Almaden research center in which the expertise acquired with
XQBE was exploited. The project was motivated in the observation that many data integration
solutions in the market include visual tools for schema mapping, in which users connect schema
elements with lines that are interpreted as high-level logical expressions that capture the
relationship between source and target data-sets; these expressions are then compiled into queries
or programs that convert source-side data instances into target-side instances. In this streamline,
Clip was conceived as a visual language for XML Schema mapping, also implemented in a tool,
that is distinguished from existing tools in that mappings explicitly specify structural
transformations in addition to value correspondences. Since Clip maps hierarchical XML
schemas, lines appear naturally nested. The main research issue is the transformation semantics
associated with the "lines", and how they combine to form mappings that are more expressive
than those generated by Clio, a well-known mapping tool developed by IBM, which is the direct
3
predecessor of Clip. The implementation of Clip, presented at SIGMOD in 2008, allows users to
draw their visual mappings and directly compiles them in XQuery statements which operate the
corresponding data transformation. [3][13]
Investigation on the evolution of query languages then brought to consider languages to
formulate complex queries over Web data sources and over streams of data generated by
interactions of people with software systems and with other people.
Complex Queries on the Web: the growth of service-oriented computing and the increased
relevance of query processing over ranked data sources, in the style of search engines, challenge
data processing architectures and systems.
Composing search services introduces new issues, however, such as determining the optimal
sequence of search and service invocations and separately composing ranked entries into a globally
ranked result. Enabling end users to mash up services through suitable abstractions and tools is a
viable option for improving service based computations [2][7].
Many applications provide their users with high-level system interfaces helping them to
formulate their queries and to inspect few, top-quality results. However, these applications
typically target only one or a few specifically correlated domains, and lack the generality of
joining heterogeneous data sources. Ad-hoc specific join strategies have been designed for this
purpose [6][23][40]. These considerations motivate a new model and architecture for efficient data
processing over generic ranked data sources, to enable more flexible execution of multi-domain
search tasks [12][39][41].
Daniele has also contributed to the specification and implementation of Panta Rhei, a framework
for supporting rank-join queries over heterogeneous data sources. Panta Rhei highlights a
programmable process model, with operation units and data/control flows, pluggable offline and
online join strategies, and support for extensibility, adaptivity, and parallelism. Panta Rhei is
specifically targeted to multi-domain queries, as its primitives support the invocation of several
kinds of Web data sources and the combination of their results within a single querying
framework.
Data Streams: the aim to grant support to queries over streams of semantic data lead to the
notion of “Stream Reasoning” [32] and to the definition of the C-SPARQL language [8][16][17], an
extension of SPARQL whose distinguishing feature is the support of continuous queries, i.e.
queries registered over RDF data streams and then continuously executed. Queries consider
windows, i.e. the most recent triples of such streams, observed while data is continuously
flowing. Supporting streams in RDF format guarantees interoperability and opens up important
applications, in which reasoners can deal with evolving knowledge over time. C-SPARQL is
provided with a formal specification of the syntax and a formal semantics, that included the
specification of aggregation primitives prior to their introduction into the specification of the
SPARQL language. As for the combined management of streaming and static knowledge, an adhoc combined approach of deductive and inductive reasoning can leverage the clear separation
between the evolving (streaming) and static parts of online knowledge at the conceptual and
technological levels. [5]
