With the increasing use of XML, considerable research is being conducted on the XML document management systems for more efficient storage and searching of XML documents. Depending on the base systems, these researches can be classified into object-oriented DBMS (OODBMS) and relational DBMS (RDBMS). OODBMS-based systems are better suited to reflect the structure of XML-documents than RDBMS based ones. However, using an XML parser to map the contents of documents to relational tables is a better way to construct a stable and effective XML document management system. The proposed X-Binder system uses an RDBMS-based inverted index; this guarantees high searching speed but wastes considerable storage space. To avoid this, the proposed system incorporates a path combining module agent that combines paths with sibling relations, and stores them in a single row. Performance evaluation revealed that the proposed system reduces storage wastage and search time.

기존의 웹 문서나 컨텐츠의 한계를 극복하기 위해 메타데이터에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어진 가운데 그 산물로 등장한 XML은 현재 다양한 분야에서 그 활용에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그리고 그 중에서 XML문서 자체를 저장 및 검색하는 부분에 대한 연구도 많은 성과가 있었다. XML의 대표적인 특징은 기존의 다른 컨텐츠와는 달리 문서의 구조를 기술할 수 있다는 것이며 이런 구조적 정보는 활용 방법에 따라 XML문서의 다양한 처리에 있어 성능을 향상시키는 핵심적인 요소가 될 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 기존의 비트맵 인덱스(Bitmap Index)를 확장하여 역파일 색인 방법과 결합시켜 P_INDEX를 제안하고, P_INDEX를 활용한 다양한 경로 중심의 검색 방법을 제시한다.

MPEG-7 based on XML represents various information of multimedia data's contents. and it support search and browsing by user's wants. But, MPEG-7 standard don't support retrieval method and Many XML Indexing is not compatible to retrieval MPEG-7 documents. So Much research activity and interest has emerged recently in retrieval MPEG-7 documents. In our paper, we suppose a hierarchical index based on MPEG-7 document's structural information, and review how to query processing based on high level feature description.

This paper proposes an index structure which is used to process X-Path on S-XML data. There are many previous index structures based on tree structure for X-Path processing. Because of general tree index's top-down query fashion, the unnecessary node traversal makes heavy access and decreases the query processing performance. And both of the two query types for X-Path called single-path query and branching query need to be supported in proposed index structure. This method uses a combination of path summary and the node indexing. First, it manages hashing on hierarchy elements which are presented in tag in S-XML. Second, array blocks named path summary array is created in each node of hashing to store the path information. The X-Path processing finds the tag element using hashing and checks array blocks in each node to determine the path of query's result. Based on this structure, it supports both single-path query and branching path query and improves the X-Path processing performance.

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.

스트리밍 XML 필터링 기법은 사용자가 등록한 질의를 만족하는 XML 문서를 찾아 사용자에게 XML 문서의 복사본을 돌러주는 것을 목적하고 있다. 본 연구는 Xfiiter와는 차별된 방법으로 역 인덱스를 사용하여 Xfilter처럼 역 인덱스가 XML 필터링 동안 동적으로 변하는 특성을 제거한다. 또한 늦은 질의 삭제 전략을 이용함으로써 질의 삭제 시간을 $50\%$ 이상 줄인다. 따라서 본 기법은 Xfilter에 비해 적은 필터링 시간과 질의 추가/삭제 시간을 보여준다. 또한 역 인덱스를 사용한 기법들의 제한점을 Yfilter와 비교하여 보여 준다.

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.

Since XML is emerging as the de facto standard for exchanging and representation of data on the web, the amount of XML data has rapidly increased. Thus, the need for effective store and retrieval of U data has arisen. Since the existing techniques such as XRel which is an XML storage and management technique using RDBMS simply record the existing all label paths, diverse classes of label path expressions could not be efficiently supported. In this paper, we present a technique which supports storage and retrieval for XML data using RDBMS efficiently compared with the existing approaches. Since the proposed technique keeps the XML path index on the relational database and replace label paths with path identifiers, diverse XML queries can be evaluated compared with existing approaches. Also, the proposed technique does not require the modification of the relational database engine and consumes the disk space less. Our experimental result demonstrates the better query performance compared with existing techniques.

XML is the standard that can manage systematically WWW documents and increase retrieval efficiency. Because XML documents have the information of contents and that of structure in single document, users can get more suitable retrieval result by retrieving the information of content as well as that of logical structure. In this paper, we will propose a method to calculate the weights of XML tags so that the information of XML tag is used to index decision. A proposed method creates term vector and weight vector for XML tags, and calculates weight of tag by reflecting user's retrieval behavior (user's query). And it decides the weights of index terms of XML document by reflecting the weights of tags. And we will perform an evaluation of proposed method by comparison with existing researches using weights of paragraphs.
