This Paper Proposes an approach that removes the redundancy of Path information and uses an inverted index, as an efficient way to store a large volume of XML documents and to retrieve wanted information from there. An XML document is decomposed into nodes based on its tree structure, and stored in relational tables according to the node type, with path information from the root to each node. The existing methods using path information store data for all element paths, which cause retrieval performance to be decreased with increased data volume. Our approach stores only data for leaf element path excluding internal element paths. As the inverted index is made by the leaf element path only, the number of posting lists by key words become smaller than those of the existing methods. For the storage and retrieval of U data, our approach doesn't require the XML schema information of XML documents and any extension of relational database. We demonstrate the better performance of on approach than the existing approaches within the scope of our experiment.

본 논문에서는 Edge-Labeled Graph에 기반하여 XML 인스턴스들을 관계형 데이터베이스(RDB)로 저장하는 모델을 제안하고 구현한다. 저장되는 XML 인스턴스들은 Edge-Libeled Graph에 기반 한 Data Graph로 표현되고 이를 이용하여 데이터 경로(Data Path), 요소(Element), 속성(Attribute), 테이블 인덱스(Table Index) 테이블에 정의된 값들이 추출된 후 Napper를 이용하여 데이터베이스 스키마를 정의하고 추출된 값들을 저장한다. 그리고, RDB 저장 모델은 질의를 지원하기 위해, XPATH를 따르는 질의 언어로 사용되는 XQL을 SQL로 변환하는 변환기를 제공하며, 또한 저장된 XML 인스턴스를 복원하는 DBtoXML 처리기를 갖도록 하였다. 구현 결과, XML 인스턴스들과 RDB 구조로의 저장 관계가 그래프(Graph) 기반의 경로(Path)를 이용한 표현으로 가능했으며, 동시에, 특정 요소 (Element) 또는 속성(Attribute)들의 정보들을 쉽게 검색할 수 있는 가능성을 보였다.

Caching query results and reusing them in processing of subsequent queries is an important query optimization technique. Materialized view and view indexing are the representative examples of such a technique. The two schemes had received much attention for relational databases, and have been investigated for XML data since XML emerged as the standard for data exchange on the Web. In XML view indexing, XML view xv which is the result of an XML query is represented as an XML view index(XVI), a structure containing the identifiers of xv's underlying XML elements as well as the information on xv. Since XVI for xv stores just the identifiers of the XML elements not the elements themselves, when xv is requested, its XVI should be materialized against xv's underlying XML documents. In this paper, we address the problem of integrating an XML view index management system with an RDBMS based XML storage system. The proposed system was implemented in Java on Windows 2000 Server with each of two different commercial RDBMSs, and used in evaluating performance improvement through XML view indexing as well as its overheads. The experimental results revealed that XML view indexing was very effective with an RDBMS based XML storage system while its overhead was negligible.

A XML Instance repository model based on the Edge-Labeled Graph is suggested for storing the XML instance in Relational Databases, This repository model represents the XML instance as a data graph based on the Edge-Labeled Graph, extracts the defined value based on the structure of data path, element, attribute, and table index table presented as database schema, and stores these values using the Mapper module, In order to support querry, XML repository model offers the module translating XQL which is a query language under XPATH to SQL, and has DBtoXML generator module restoring the stored XML instance. As a result, it is possible to represent the storage relationship between the XML instances and the proposed repository model in terms of Graph-based Path, and it shows the possibility of easy search of specific element and attribute information.

This paper presents an assignment method of the multidimensional type inheritance indexes (MD-TIXs) to support the processing of XML queries in XML databases. MD-TIX uses a multidimensional index structure for efficiently supporting nested predicates that involve both nested element and type inheritance hierarchies. In this paper, we have analyzed the strategy of the query processing by using the MD-TIXs, and presented an assignment method of the MD-TIXs in the framework of complex queries, containing conjunctions of nested predicates, each one involving an Xpath having target types or domain types substitution. We first consider MD-TIX operations caused by updating of XML data-bases, and the use of the MD-TIXs in the case of a query containing a single nested predicate. And then, we consider the assignments of the MD-TIXs in the framework of more general queries containing nested predicates over overlapping paths that have common subpaths.

Use of XML data has been increased with growth of Web 2.0 environment. XML is recognized its advantages by using based technology of RSS or ATOM for transferring information from blogs and news feed. Bitmap clustering is a method to keep index in main memory based on Relational DBMS, and which performed better than the other XML indexing methods during the evaluation. Existing method generates too many clusters, and it causes deterioration of result of searching quality. This paper proposes k-Bitmap clustering method that can generate user defined k clusters to solve above-mentioned problem. The proposed method also keeps additional inverted index for searching excluded terms from representative bits of k-Bitmap. We performed evaluation and the result shows that the users can control the number of clusters. Also our method has high recall value in single term search, and it guarantees the searching result includes all related documents for its query with keeping two indices.

Since XML emerged as a standard for data exchange on the web, it has been established as a core component in e-Commerce and efficient query processing over XML data in ubiquitous computing environment has been also receiving much attention. Recently, the techniques were proposed whereby an XML document is fragmented into XML fragments to be streamed and the mobile clients receive the stream while processing queries over it. In processing queries over an XML fragment stream, the average access time significantly depends on the order of fragments in the stream. As such, for query performance, an efficient organization of XML fragment stream is required as well as the indexing for energy-efficient query processing due to the reduction of tuning time. In this paper, a technique of XML fragment stream organization based on query frequencies, fragment size, fragment access frequencies, and an active XML-based indexing scheme are proposed. Through implementation and performance experiments, our techniques were shown to be efficient compared with the conventional XML fragment stream organizations.

Index structures that are based on sequence matching for XPath processing such as ViST, PRIX and LCS-TRIM have recently been proposed to reduce the search time of XML documents. However, ViST can cause a lot of unnecessary computation and I/O when processing structural joint queries because its numbering scheme is not optimized. PRIX and LCS-TRIM require much processing time for matching XML data trees and queries. In this paper, we propose a novel index structure that solves the problems of ViST and improves the performance of PRIX and LCS-TRIM. Our index structure provides the minimum sequence matching scheme to efficiently process structural queries. Finally, to verify the superiority of the proposed index structure with the minimum sequence matching scheme, we compare our index structure with ViST, PRIX and LCS-TRIM in terms of query processing of a single path or of a branching path including wild-cards ('*' and '//' ).

In order to produce information the author usually reference other authors' work. A citation index leads users to papers by citations. Citations lead the user to desired information. In this paper, KSCI(Korea Science Citation Index) which defines the relationships between citing documents and cited documents has been constructed. KSCI System is to solve problems for recursive retrieval in ISI's SCI(Science Citation Index) Path Encoding Indexing technique was used to solve the problems. From the analysis of data, this system has efficiency about 8.98% in the aspect of data storage. In the aspect of retrieval, there was efficiency between citing documents and cited documents, especially there was over 40% of efficiency in the retrieval of cited documents. It is concluded that suggested KSCI system will provide efficient storage and retrieval system.
