Descriptors and Templates in Relational Information Systems

摘要

We discuss descriptors and templates within relational information systems. We provide examples how to use attribute-specific similarity measures to equip standard information systems with relational structures. We introduce new types of descriptors, which take an advantage of available relations, forming cliques or stars of interrelated attribute values. We also show how to build relational templates from collections of such relational descriptors. We illustrate the proposed framework with possible applications.
