ABSTRACT
Data citation is an interesting computational challenge, whose solution draws on several well-studied problems in database theory: query answering using views, and provenance. We describe the problem, suggest an approach to its solution, and highlight several open research problems, both practical and theoretical.

Data Citation: Giving Credit Where Credit is Due
SIGMOD '18: Proceedings of the 2018 International Conference on Management of DataAn increasing amount of information is being published in structured databases and retrieved using queries, raising the question of how query results should be cited. Since there are a large number of possible queries over a database, one strategy is to ...
Data Citation Index: Promoting attribution, use and discovery of research data
NFAIS 2014 and ICSTI 2014The Data Citation Index forms part of the Thomson Reuters Web of Science research platform. Thomson Reuters makes partnerships with data repositories to create indexed data object metadata records integrated within the larger platform. The core features ...
Querying data provenance
SIGMOD '10: Proceedings of the 2010 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of dataMany advanced data management operations (e.g., incremental maintenance, trust assessment, debugging schema mappings, keyword search over databases, or query answering in probabilistic databases), involve computations that look at how a tuple was ...
