Semantic Web, Ontologies and Databases

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the joint International Workshops on Semantic Web, Ontologies and Databases, SWDB-ODBIS 2007, co-located with the 33rd International Conference on Very Large Data Bases, VLDB 2007, held in Vienna, Austria, in September 2007.

The 7 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited paper were carefully selected from 11 submissions. Among the topics addressed are semantics-aware data models and query languages; ontology-based views, mapping, transformations, and query reformulation; and storing and indexing semantic Web data and schemas.
