Interpretation of Sigma Query
In the query Sw
(w1, w2,..., wn) R,
R is a cluster string representing (a portion of) the virtul world.
The above query is interpreted as follows:
Procedure Query_Interpreter( Sw
(w1, w2,..., wn) R)
Step 1: Apply cutw to each existing cluster in R to find its
sub-clusters
Cw1, Cw2, ..., Cwn.
Step 2: For each sub-cluster Ci, if wic is closed
it is treated as a single object. If wio is
open it is treated as a set of objects. Re-encode R according to Sw.
