DAMSEL: a system for progressive querying and reasoning on movement data

In this paper we present DAMSEL a querying and reasoning system to support the knowledge discovery process over movement data. DAMSEL is the integration of a data mining query language system, called Daedalus, with a reasoning system, called Athena. The synergic integration of the two produces an advanced flexible querying system, specialized on movement data. The query language of the integrated system allows for mixing data mining and semantic enhanced queries. Furthermore, the support for the iterative knowledge discovery process provides the user with a powerful reasoning tool. The architecture of DAMSEL and its query language is outlined in the paper along with an application scenario that expresses the advanced querying capability of the system.
