Abstract

Theses days, a number of data over the Internet are represented using XML because of a virtue of XML. In proportion to the increase of XML data, query processing techniques are required that support quickly and efficiently the diverse queries to search the useful information on XML documents. But, up to now, the researches handling queries for XML data are methodologies focusing on how to process regular path expressions. Therefore, we have developed a new genealogy-based indexing technique to solve various queries such as not only regular path expression but also simple path expression, path expression referencing other elements, and so on. Also, we have applied this technique on object-relational model and evaluated the performance for many documents and various query types. The result shows improved performance in comparison with the other storage techniques.

오늘날 인터넷 상의 많은 데이타들은 XML의 여러 장점들로 인하여 XML을 이용하여 표현되고 있다. 이렇게 XML 데이타가 늘어가는 것에 비례하여 XML 문서상에서 유용한 정보를 검색하기 위하여 다양한 질의를 빠르고 효율적으로 지원할 수 있는 질의 처리 기법이 요구되고 있다. 그러나 현재까지는 XML 데이타를 위한 질의 최적화 연구는 정규 경로 표현을 다루는 방법론에 국한되어 있다. 본 논문은 새로운 족보 기반 인덱싱 기법을 개발하여 정규 경로 표현뿐 아니라, 단순 경로 표현과 다른 엘리먼트를 참조하고 있는 경로 표현과 같은 다양한 질의 처리를 해결하였다. 또한 이 인덱싱 기법을 객체-관계형 모델에 적용하여 여러 종류의 문서와 다양한 질의 종류에 대해 성능을 평가하였고, 다른 저장 기법과 비교하여 성능의 우수성을 입증하였다.
