Presentation Overview: This presentation describes a variety of graph queries in a relational database. Query types include subsumption, path, inference, and polymorphism. These query types are based upon the use of transitive closure.

Presentation Overview: This presentation describes 3 options for deserializing XML into a relational database. These options include deserializing into database table columns of data type XML, deserializing into conventional relational tables, and deserializing into a soft schema. In the latter approach, XML and corresponding XSD documents are treated as object graphs and class graphs respectively. Treating XSD documents as class graphs enables a clever use of XSD documents in support of a very powerful class of queries called polymorphic queries. Polymorphic queries provide the ability to write queries over collections of heterogeneous XML documents without having to hard-code knowledge accounting for the structural differences between the various XML documents. This presentation also includes a description of how to apply natural language processing (NLP) to the names or values of object graph nodes in order to associate object graph nodes with industry-standard ontology nodes.

Presentation Overview: This presentation describes an architecture to deliver the Holy Grail of IT. This architecture is predicated on transforming an information system into a knowledge system via the use of ontologies, natural language processing (NLP), and the use of a technology called TCSQL.

Presentation Overview: This presentation describes use of TCSQL for project management. Powerful path queries are shown in deriving the critical path of a project. The use of polymorphic queries demonstrate the ability to write queries that never break and never need modification despite process and project modifications.
