Here are a few ways SciQL could help with this seismology use case:
1. The mseed array allows storing and querying the large seismic data in an efficient columnar format.
2. Window-based aggregation with dimensional grouping enables filtering signals by station/LTA ratios over time windows.
3. Views and queries on dimensional groups facilitate removing false positives by comparing signals across nearby stations over time.
4. Further window-based grouping and UDFs can extract signal windows for additional heuristic analysis.
By integrating the array and relational models, SciQL provides a declarative way to analyze large multidimensional scientific datasets like seismic signals interactively.

Abstract:
Scientific applications are still poorly served by contemporary relational database systems. At best, the system provides a bridge towards an external library using user-defined functions, explicit import/export facilities or linked-in Java/C# interpreters. Time has come to rectify this with SciQL1, a SQL query language for scientific applications with arrays as first class citizens. It provides a seamless symbiosis of array-, set-, and sequence- interpretation using a clear separation of the mathematical object from its underlying implementation. A key innovation is to extend valuebased grouping in SQL:2003 with structural grouping, i.e., fixedsized and unbounded groups based on explicit relationships between their dimension attributes. It leads to a generalization of window-based query processing with wide applicability in science domains. This paper is focused on the language features, extensively illustrated with examples of its intended use.

SciQL aims to lower the barrier for scientists to use DBMSs for array-based data while revealing new optimization opportunities for databases.
This document describes a doctoral thesis on using description logics and attribute vectors to represent ontological knowledge and perform reasoning. Description logics allow describing important domain concepts using concepts, roles, and logical relationships. The proposed approach uses subsumption relationships to build a dependency graph and generate vector representations of concepts. Reasoning algorithms using vector operations are presented to handle concept intersections, unions, and existential restrictions. It is argued that this approach simplifies reasoning and the algorithms are proven to converge over time. The thesis concludes the attribute vector representation carries semantic meaning and enables efficient reasoning implementation.
Principal Component Analysis For Novelty DetectionJordan McBain
This document summarizes a journal article that proposes using principal component analysis (PCA) for novelty detection in condition monitoring applications. It describes how PCA can be used to reduce the dimensionality of feature spaces while retaining most of the variation in the data. The authors modify the standard PCA technique to maximize the difference between the spread of normal data and the spread of outlier data from the mean of the normal data. They validate the approach on artificial and machinery vibration data and show it can effectively distinguish outliers. Future work could involve extending the technique to non-linear data using kernel methods.

Speaker: Mike Heddes (University of California, Irvine)
Topic: Introduction to Hyperdimensional Computing
Abstract:
Hyperdimensional computing (HD), also known as vector symbolic architectures (VSA), is a computing framework capable of forming compositional distributed representations. HD/VSA forms a "concept space" by exploiting the geometry and algebra of high-dimensional spaces. The central idea is to represent information with randomly generated vectors, called hypervectors. Together with a set of operations on these hypervectors, HD/VSA can represent compositional structures, which, in turn, enables features such as reasoning by analogy and cognitive computing. In this introductory talk, I will introduce the high-dimensional spaces and the fundamental operations on hypervectors. I will then cover applications of HD/VSA such as reasoning by analogy and graph classification.

Similar to Arrays in Databases, the next frontier? (20)
This document describes a Contextualized Knowledge Repository (CKR) framework that allows for representing and reasoning with contextual knowledge on the Semantic Web. The CKR extends the description logic SROIQ-RL to include defeasible axioms in the global context. Defeasible axioms can be overridden by local contexts, allowing exceptions. The CKR is composed of two layers - a global context containing metadata and defeasible axioms, and local contexts containing object knowledge with references. An interpretation of a CKR maps local contexts to descriptions logic interpretations over the object vocabulary, respecting references between contexts.
The document describes a Contextualized Knowledge Repository (CKR) framework for representing and reasoning with contextual knowledge on the Semantic Web. It discusses the need to make context explicit in the Semantic Web in order to represent knowledge that holds in specific contextual spaces like time, location, or topic. The CKR is presented as a formalism based on description logics that defines contexts as first-class objects and allows associating knowledge with contexts. It describes a prototype CKR implementation and outlines how a CKR could be used to represent open data about the Trentino region with contextual metadata.
This document discusses leveraging crowdsourcing techniques and consistency constraints to optimize the reconciliation of schema matching networks. It proposes:
1) Defining consistency constraints within schema matching networks and designing validation questions for crowdsourced workers.
2) Using consistency constraints to reduce reconciliation error rates and the monetary cost of asking additional validation questions.
3) Modeling a crowdsourcing process for schema matching networks that aims to minimize cost while maximizing accuracy through the application of consistency constraints.
This document discusses privacy-preserving schema reuse. It introduces the challenges of defining privacy constraints, generating an anonymized schema from multiple schemas while satisfying privacy constraints, defining a utility function for anonymized schemas, and solving the optimization problem of finding the anonymized schema with the highest utility that satisfies all privacy constraints. Experimental results demonstrate the trade-off between privacy enforcement and utility loss. The solution presents an approach for generating anonymized schemas from multiple schemas in a privacy-preserving manner.

This document summarizes a demo of using SPARQLstream and Morphstreams to visualize transport data from Madrid's public transport company (EMT) in a tablet application. Static EMT data like bus stop locations are extracted and mapped to RDF, while live bus waiting time data streams are transformed and queried in real-time. This allows a Map4RDF iOS app to retrieve bus stop information and lookup estimated arrival times using SPARQL and SPARQLstream queries. The demo illustrates how standards like SSN and R2RML can integrate static and streaming sensor data for web-based applications.
The document discusses the need for a W3C community group on RDF stream processing. It notes there is currently heterogeneity in RDF stream models, query languages, implementations, and operational semantics. The speaker proposes creating a W3C community group to better understand these differences, requirements, and potentially develop recommendations. The group's mission would be to define common models for producing, transmitting, and continuously querying RDF streams. The presentation provides examples of use cases and outlines a template for describing them to collect more cases to understand requirements.

This document summarizes research on implementing defeasible logic, a non-monotonic reasoning method, in a distributed manner using the MapReduce framework. Defeasible logic allows commonsense reasoning over low-quality data and has low computational complexity. However, existing implementations did not scale to huge datasets. The researchers developed a multi-argument MapReduce implementation of defeasible logic that distributes the reasoning process. Experimental evaluation on large datasets showed this approach provides scalable defeasible reasoning over distributed data. Future work will address challenges with non-stratified rulesets and test the approach on additional real-world applications and knowledge representation methods.
This document discusses data and knowledge evolution on the semantic web. It begins by explaining the limitations of the current web in representing semantic content and introduces the semantic web as a way to give data well-defined meaning. It then discusses how ontologies and datasets are used to describe semantic data and how datasets are dynamic and change over time. It also introduces linked open data as a way to interconnect datasets and the challenges this presents. Finally, it outlines the scope of the talk, which is to survey research areas related to managing dynamic linked datasets, including remote change management, repair, and data/knowledge evolution.
This document discusses evolving workflow provenance information in the presence of custom inference rules. It presents three inference rules for provenance data, including that actors are associated with all subactivities if one activity, objects and their parts are used together, and information objects are present where physical objects carrying them are. It examines handling updates to provenance knowledge bases using these rules either by deleting all inferred facts or only as needed, and considers complexity of different approaches.
This document discusses access control for RDF graphs using abstract models. It presents an abstract access control model defined using abstract tokens and operators to model the computation of access labels for inferred RDF triples. The model supports dynamic datasets and policies. Experiments show that annotation time increases with the number of implied triples, while evaluation time increases linearly with the total number of triples. The abstract model approach allows different concrete access control policies to be applied to the same dataset.
This talk was given by FORTH, Greece, at the European Data Forum (EDF) 2012 took place on June 6-7, 2012 in Copenhagen (Denmark) at the Copenhagen Business School (CBS).
Abstract:
Given the increasing amount of sensitive RDF data available on the Web, it becomes increasingly critical to guarantee secure access to this content. Access control is complicated when RDFS inference rules and other dependencies between access permissions of triples need to be considered; this is necessary, e.g., when we want to associate the access permissions of inferred triples with the ones that implied it. In this paper we advocate the use of abstract provenance models that are defined by means of abstract tokens operators to support fine grained access control for RDF graphs. The access label of a triple is a complex expression that encodes how said label was produced (i.e., the triples that contributed to its computation). This feature allows us to know exactly the effects of any possible change, thereby avoiding a complete recomputation of the labels when a change occurs. In addition, the same application can choose to enforce different access control policies or, different applications can enforce different policies on the same data, avoiding the recomputation of the label of a triple. Preliminary experiments have shown the applicability and benefits of our approach.
This talk has been given at the 13th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2012) to be held in Rome, Italy, June 10-14, 2012 by Ilias Tahmazidis (FORTH).
Abstract:
We are witnessing an explosion of available data from the Web, government authorities, scientific databases, sensors and more. Such datasets could benefit from the introduction of rule sets encoding commonly accepted rules or facts, application- or domain-specific rules, commonsense knowledge etc. This raises the question of whether, how, and to what extent knowledge representation methods are capable of handling the vast amounts of data for these applications. In this paper, we consider nonmonotonic reasoning, which has traditionally focused on rich knowledge structures. In particular, we consider defeasible logic, and analyze how parallelization, using the MapReduce framework, can be used to reason with defeasible rules over huge data sets. Our experimental results demonstrate that defeasible reasoning with billions of data is performant, and has the potential to scale to trillions of facts.

Abstract:
In cytomics bookkeeping of the data generated during lab experiments is crucial. The current approach in cytomics is to conduct High-Throughput Screening (HTS) experiments so that cells can be tested under many different experimental conditions. Given the large amount of different conditions and the readout of the conditions through images, it is clear that the HTS approach requires a proper data management system to reduce the time needed for experiments and the chance of man-made errors. As different types of data exist, the experimental conditions need to be linked to the images produced by the HTS experiments with their metadata and the results of further analysis. Moreover, HTS experiments never stand by themselves, as more experiments are lined up, the amount of data and computations needed to analyze these increases rapidly. To that end cytomic experiments call for automated and systematic solutions that provide convenient and robust features for scientists to manage and analyze their data. In this paper, we propose a platform for managing and analyzing HTS images resulting from cytomics screens taking the automated HTS workflow as a starting point. This platform seamlessly integrates the whole HTS workflow into a single system. The platform relies on a modern relational database system to store user data and process user requests, while providing a convenient web interface to end-users. By implementing this platform, the overall workload of HTS experiments, from experiment design to data analysis, is reduced significantly. Additionally, the platform provides the potential for data integration to accomplish genotype-to-phenotype modeling studies.
The talk was given at the 15th International Conference on Extending Database Technology (EDBT 2012) on March 29, 2012 in Berlin, Germany.
Abstract:
Query optimization in RDF Stores is a challenging problem as SPARQL queries typically contain many more joins than equivalent relational plans, and hence lead to a large join order search space. In such cases, cost-based query optimization often is not possible. One practical reason for this is that statistics typically are missing in web scale setting such as the Linked Open Datasets (LOD). The more profound reason is that due to the absence of schematic structure in RDF, join-hit ratio estimation requires complicated forms of correlated join statistics; and currently there are no methods to identify the relevant correlations beforehand. For this reason, the use of good heuristics is essential in SPARQL query optimization, even in the case that are partially used with cost-based statistics (i.e., hybrid query optimization). In this paper we describe a set of useful heuristics for SPARQL query optimizers. We present these in the context of a new Heuristic SPARQL Planner (HSP) that is capable of exploiting the syntactic and the structural variations of the triple patterns in a SPARQL query in order to choose an execution plan without the need of any cost model. For this, we define the variable graph and we show a reduction of the SPARQL query optimization problem to the maximum weight independent set problem. We implemented our planner on top of the MonetDB open source column-store and evaluated its effectiveness against the state-of-the-art RDF-3X engine as well as comparing the plan quality with a relational (SQL) equivalent of the benchmarks.
The tutorial will be presented on May 27 2012 at the 9th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2012).
Short description of the tutorial:
The tutorial describes the traditional optimize-then-execute paradigm implemented in existing RDF engines and its main drawbacks when a large volume of data needs to be remotely accessed. As a solution to overcome limitations of current query processing approaches, we will present existing adaptive query processing techniques defined in the context of database management systems, and their applicability to the Semantic Web. Also, we will describe current solutions that have been proposed in the context of the Semantic Web to access remote data. The target audience includes researchers and practitioners that develop or use query engines to consume Linked and Big Data through SPARQL endpoints. The participants will learn limitations of existing RDF query engines and how current techniques can be extended to access remote data from Linked Data sets, and hide delays caused by unpredictable data transfers and datasets availability. A hands-on session will allow attendees to evaluate the performance and robustness of existing approaches.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
