** 2007, José Luis Ambite, Dipsy Kapoor, “Automatically Composing Data Workflows with Relational Descriptions and Shim Services”, in Karl Aberer, editor, The Semantic Web, page 18:In Argos we used factored data descriptions. Instead of considering the body of a description as a collection of predicates all of equal importance, we group the predicates into meaningful concepts for the domain, and then use these concepts as appropriate in the body of the relational definitions.
