ABSTRACT: AIDAQ develops unified querying and analysis across heterogeneous data models
(relational, graph, and document) by extending query languages with predictive and analytical
features and automating the structuring of unstructured data. It is project within the TREMPLIN initiative of Université d'Orléans.
It aims AIDAQ aims to consolidate a long-term research network between French and Brazilian institutions in computer science and life sciences.
ROLE: leader
ABSTRACT: TopOL aims to provide intuitive query, exploration, and analytics tools over
large sets of heteroge- neous datasets (any combination of plain text, documents, graphs, tables, databases),
to support non-technical users working with digital data sources.
ROLE: site leader
- PROJECT DATA
ABSTRACT: The JUNON programme, led by BRGM, is part of the regional Centre-Val de Loire Ambition Research Development scheme. This ambitious programme to develop a digital centre for research on the continental environment (agricultural, urban, forests and rivers) in the Centre-Val de Loire region aims to design digital services to improve monitoring and understanding of the environment, for better management of natural resources.

Intelligent Data - From text to Knowledge
ABSTRACT: DOING focuses on transforming data into information and then into knowledge. The idea is to gather researchers in NLP (Natural Language Processing), DB (Databases), and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to discuss two main problems:
(1) how to extract information from textual data and represent it in knowledge bases;
(2) how to propose intelligent methods for handling and maintaining these databases with new forms of requests, including efficient, flexible, and secure analysis mechanisms, adapted to the user, and with quality and privacy preservation guarantees.

Goals:
The research work we propose to undertake seeks to push the frontier of XML technology innovation in three interconnected directions. First, we propose to study languages, algorithms, and develop prototypes for efficient and expressive XML processing, in particular advancing towards massively distributed XML repositories. Second, we will consider models for describing, controlling, and reacting to the dynamic behavior of XML corporas and XML schemas with time. Third, we propose theories, models and prototypes for composing XML programs for richer interactions, and XML schemas into rich, expressive, yet formally grounded type descriptions.
