Rights Protection for Relational Data

Summary: Relational data rights protection via watermarking tailored for outsourced data mining, defending against re-sorting, subset selection, and linear data transformations. wmdb, a proof-of-concept, demonstrates robust watermarking that survives 50%+ data loss on real Wal-Mart sales data.
