Semantic Data Warehouse Modelling for Trajectories

Abstract

The trajectory patterns of a moving object in a spatio-temporal domain offers varied information in terms of the management of the data generated from the movement. A trajectory data warehouse is a data repository for the data and information of trajectory objects and their associated spatial objects for defined temporal periods. The query results of trajectory objects from the data warehouse are usually not enough to answer certain trend behaviours and meaningful inferences without the associated semantic information of the trajectory object or the geospatial environment within a specified purpose or context. This paper formulates and designs a generic ontology modelling framework that serves as the background model platform for the design of a semantic data warehouse for trajectories. This semantic trajectory data warehouse can be adaptable for trajectory data processing and analytics on any chosen spatio-temporal application domain. The methodology underpins on higher granularity of data as a result of pre-processed and transformed ETL data so as to offer efficient semantic inference to the underlying trajectory data. Moreover, the approach outlines the thematic dimensions that serve as necessary entities for extracting semantic information. Additionally, the modelling approach offers a design platform for effective predictive trend analysis and knowledge discovery in the trajectory dynamics and data processing for moving objects.

Towards Effective Orchestration of AI x DB Workloads

AI-driven analytics are increasingly crucial to data-centric decision-making. Executing relational and AI operators in separate runtimes prevents the database optimizer and runtime from coordinating operator ordering, model placement, batching, and state reuse. Integrating AI operators into database engines enables such coordination but raises challenges in jointly optimizing query processing and model execution, scheduling under resource contention, and reusing relational intermediates and AI artifacts. This paper formalizes AIxDB workloads as iterative, concurrent, and shareable executions that interleave relational and AI operators. We then advocate database-native orchestration as a paradigm for redesigning database engines for these workloads and distill two design principles: holistic AIxDB co-optimization and unified AIxDB cache management. We present NeurEngine as a proof-of-concept prototype and report preliminary results illustrating the performance benefits of database-native orchestration

A Functional Pilot for Certified Freshness-Aware Semantic--Spatial Range Retrieval

Geographic applications need every object inside a radius that satisfies a semantic threshold, yet embedding indexes return approximate top-ranked lists and may omit qualifying records silently. We present FRESH-GEORANGE, a semantic- spatial range design that separates source-watermark freshness from optional record age. Geographic cells and semantic mi- croblocks provide admissible pruning bounds; a graph proposes verification order but supplies no correctness evidence. Exact mode scans every nonprunable block and the delta overlay. Certified mode may stop early and reports a deterministic query- specific recall lower bound from verified answers and unresolved records. A reproducible CPU pilot uses 2,500 real OpenFlights airport records, a 2,000-record base, and 740 simulated insert, delete, and text-revision events; it evaluates 180 unique queries over five seeds. Exact mode achieved 100.00% set recall on every query. The 95-percent mode achieved 99.91% empirical mean recall with a 99.41% reported mean certificate and no observed bound violation. However, its 7.24 ms median latency was 5.85 times the 1.24 ms spatial-first exact baseline, and full-history delta replay became slower than rebuilding at larger batches. The prototype therefore validates the completeness mechanism, not performance superiority or production freshness. Submission- scale evaluation requires real map diffs, official recent baselines, and truly incremental versioned maintenance.

AkasicMEM: Governed Enterprise Memory for Agents

Agent memory enables enterprise agents to retain knowledge acquired during work and reuse it across tasks and agents, turning execution experience into persistent organizational knowledge. Realizing this potential requires both source--memory integration, through which enterprise sources and accumulated memory can be utilized together, and memory governance, through which shared memory remains subject to organizational policies throughout its lifecycle. These requirements interact when information from enterprise sources persists in memory. As this information is repeatedly derived and reused under changing principals and policies, source restrictions may be bypassed, resulting in information leakage. Preventing such leakage requires authorization continuity, under which source restrictions remain effective throughout source-to-memory and memory-to-memory derivation and reuse. Existing approaches address these concerns individually, but do not treat source--memory integration, memory governance, and authorization continuity as combined core design targets across the memory lifecycle. We define Governed Enterprise Memory as agent memory designed around this combined scope and present AkasicMEM as its realization. AkasicMEM realizes authorization continuity through transitive lineage, policy composition during memory formation, and policy re-evaluation during retrieval. It is built on GraphAI's AkasicDB, a unified vector--graph--relational database whose storage and execution substrate enables the underlying operations of these mechanisms to be jointly optimized and executed.
