Semantics in Data and Knowledge Bases - Third International Workshop, SDKB 2008, Nantes, France, March 29, 2008, Revised Selected Papers (Paperback, 2008 ed.)

This volume comprises selected papers of the Third International Workshop on Semanticsin Data and KnowledgeBases, which wascollacatedwith EDBT 2008 and was organized in Nantes on March 29, 2008. The ?rst two workshops "- mantics in Databases" took place in Re? z, Czech Republic in 1995 and Dagstuhl, Germany, 2001. The workshops have had post-proceedings of selected papers given at the workshop. We invited the best papers of the workshop to submit a revised version of their paper. These revisions have been reviewed for the- nal proceedings. The proceedings of the ?rst two workshops were published by Springer in the LNCS series, volumes 1358 and 2582.The SDKB 2008 workshop call for papers led to 19 submissions, which were reviewed by 4 reviewers. We selected six of the papers given at the SDKB 2008 workshop. We - ditionally invited four papers that round up the proceedings. Furthermore, we added a survey on the state of the art in the ?eld. The SDKB workshopseries tries to bring together researchersin the areas of data and knowledge bases who work on aspects of semantics. In particular, the workshoppresents originalcontributions demonstrating the use of logic, discrete mathematics, combinatorics, domain theory and other mathematical theories of semantics for database and knowledge bases, computational linguistics and semiotics, and information and knowledge-based systems.
