Managing Textual Data Semantically In Relational Databases

Abstract

the massive volume of data in databases, web pages, and document files usually causes information to be disorganized and unclear for the user. Therefore, information in such an environment can be classified into three forms: structured, semistructured, or unstructured. Structured information is the best form of information because it facilitates the acquisition and comprehension of knowledge. Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) has a robust structure that manages, organizes and retrieves data. There are many attempts have been made in order to deal with such data. These attempts can be categorized into three groups: within a database schema, by a developed data model within the database, or by query-based techniques in database. Nonetheless, RDBMS contain massive amount of unstructured data such as textual data.. This paper proposed Textual Virtual Schema Model (TVSM). TVSM is conducted to perform semantic textual data linking and clustering and is embedded in the relational database structure (schema). In addition, linking and converting the unstructured information to structured data. Quality improvement of textual data clusters. Achievement of high query processing efficiency in retrieving data clusters. TVSM initially developed to assist researchers, developers, and database administrators who are concerned on unstructured information management, information extraction, multi-document clustering, information retrieval, query processing efficiency, personal information management, question answering, information integration, news tracking, and news summarization
