Incomplete Path Expressions and their Disambiguation
Summary: Disambiguates incomplete path expressions in object-oriented DBs by mapping them to optimal, fully specified paths in the schema graph via transitive-closure. Domain-independent, it relies on schema semantics rather than data contents and is validated with human-subject experiments. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
