Abstract

In this paper we present the first JSON type system that provides the possibility of inferring a schema by adopting different levels of precision/succinctness for different parts of the dataset, under user control. This feature gives the data analyst the possibility to have detailed schemas for parts of the data of greater interest, while more succinct schema is provided for other parts, and the decision can be changed as many times as needed, in order to explore the schema in a gradual fashion, moving the focus to different parts of the collection, without the need of reprocessing data and by only performing type rewriting operations on the most precise schema.
