Abstract

This paper introduces a novel keyword searching paradigm in Relational Databases (DBs), where the result of a search is a ranked set of Object Summaries (OSs). An OS summarizes all data held about a Data Subject (DS) in the Database. More precisely, it is a tree with a tuple containing the Keyword as a root and neighboring tuples as children. In contrast to traditional Relational Keyword Search (R-KwS), an OS comprises a more complete and therefore semantically meaningful set of information about the enquired DS.
