Exploring PSI-MI XML collections using DescribeX (2008)
Reza Samavi, Mariano Consens, Shahan Khatchadourian, Thodoros Topaloglou
PSI-MI has been endorsed by the protein informatics community as a standard XML data exchange format for protein-protein interaction datasets. While many public databases support the standard, there...

Efficient, effective and flexible XML retrieval using summaries (2007)
M. S. Ali, Mariano Consens, Xin Gu, Yaron Kanza, Flavio Rizzolo
Abstract. Retrieval queries that combine structural constraints with keyword search are placing new challenges on retrieval systems. This paper presents TReX—a new retrieval system for XML. TReX...
Algebras for Querying Text Regions: Expressive Power and Optimization (1998)
There is a significant amount of interest in combining and extending database and information retrieval technologies to manage textual data. The challenge is becoming more relevant due to increased...

Visualizing and Querying Distributed Event Traces with Hy (1994)
Mariano Consens, Masum Z. Hasan, Alberto O. Mendelzon, The Hy
. A programmer attempting to understand and debug a distributed program deals with large volumes of trace data that describe the program's behaviour. Visualization is widely believed to help in...
Database Programming in Transaction Logic (1993)
Anthony Bonner, Michael Kifer, Mariano Consens
This paper presents database applications of the recently proposed Transaction Logic---an extension of classical predicate logic that accounts in a clean and declarative fashion for the phenomenon of...
Deductive Database Support for Data Visualization (1993)
Mariano Consens, Alberto O. Mendelzon, Dimitra Vista
. We describe how deductive database technology can support data visualization. In particular we show how we have used the deductive languages LDL and CORAL for the implementation of the visual query...
