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 '//' ).

Usually, design method to use UML by Object-Oriented Modelling is used much. But, generation of Metadata that use UML is not easy by difference of expression about detailed functions that Is Involved language and this in environment that differ. In this paper that solution method use XML Metadata Interchange Format(XMI) for standardization and normalization of Pattern and Class. And, for design of Metamodel select frequency A many 4 element of use among XMI Metamodel and create Metadata. Design DB repository for created Metadata storing and add pattern and Information about each class composition and use query and did so that reusability and extension of Metadata nay be easy.

Materialized views have received much attention for query performance improvement. They need to be refreshed whenever their underlying data sources are updated. They could be recomputed from scratch or they could be incrementally refreshed by reflecting only those portions of updates that affect them. With emergence of XML as the standard for data exchange on the Web, active research is under way on effectively storing and retrieving XML documents. In this paper, we describe a performance study on the incremental refresh of XML materialized views for the case where XML documents are stored in a relational DBMS, and XML materialized views are maintained with incremental refresh. We describe implementation of a prototype XML storage system that supports XML materialized views and their incremental refresh, and report the performance results obtained with the implemented system through a detailed set of experiments on the incremental refresh of XML materialized views. The results show that the XML view maintenance with incremental refresh outperforms the ordinary view recomputation.

XML has already been settled down as a standard for the exchange of commercial data on the web. Though most institutions have a wish to use XML document as an EDI form for all sorts of document exchange, it is unfortune that previous commercial data is still saved in the relational form of data base. Therefore, it is necessary that data saved in the relational form of data base be transformed into XML document form for the better use of document exchange. In order to transform relational form of data base to XML, one solution is to publish XML document by way of mapping each field of the relational form of data base table onto XML. However, in the case of building one XML document out of more i~km two data base tables, a join should be performed since a mere mapping associated with DTD tan not solve the problem. In this paper, we build the view for the XML in which alignments generated from the join are presented. and then through this view the contents with the relational form of data base should be transformed into XML. Briefly speaking, This paper aims to propose algorithm concerned with this transformation and to realize it.

Vast amount of XML documents raise interests in how they will be used and how far their usage can be expanded, This paper has two central goals: 1) easy and fast retrieval of XML documents or relevant elements; and 2) efficient and stable management of large-size XML documents, The keys to develop such a practical system are how to segment a large XML document to smaller fragments and how to store them. In order to achieve these goals, we designed SCOF(Service-centric Object Fragmentation) model, which is a semi-decomposition method based on conversion rules provided by XML database managers. Keyword-based search using SCOF model then retrieves the specific elements or attributes of XML documents, just as typical XML query language does. Even though this approach needs the wisdom of managers in XML document collection, SCOF model makes it efficient both retrieval and management of massive XML documents.

The semantic web was proposed as the next generation web technology. In the environment of the semantic web, resources as well defined and related with each other semantically, the RDF supports this basic mechanism. To establish and develop the semantic web. the basic technologies related to RDF data must be pre-established. In this research, we develop methods for storing and querying RDF data using an XML database system. As using XML database, XML data and RDF data can be integrated and efficiently managed. We construct and evaluate a system applying the proposed method to store and search data, we compared the query processing performance on our system with that of an existing system. The experiment result show that our system processes queries more efficiently.

웹 상의 데이터 표현 및 교환의 표준으로 각광받는 XML은 논리적 구조와 내용 정보를 이용하여 보다 정확한 검색이 가능하다. 그러나 더욱 빠른 속도로 증가하는 많은 양의 데이터에 대해 보다 정확하고 풍부한 검색을 하기 위해서 메타데이터를 활용하는 방법이 고려되었고, RDF와 같은 메타데이터 기술 언어들에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. RDF는 XML의 문법 구조를 이용하여 작성되므로 XML 문서를 RDF 형태로 작성한다던가, 약간의 수정을 통해 기존 XML 문서를 RDF 형태로 변환하는 것이 가능하다. XML의 RDF 변환은 여러 이점 때문에 앞으로 활성화될 가능성이 크기 때문에 RDF의 특성을 고려한 저장 및 검색에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 XML을 기본적인 RDF 형태로 변환하는 기본적인 규칙을 소개하고 변환된 RDF 문서를 위한 저장 구조를 제안한다. 제안한 저장 구조는 기존 웹 애플리케이션과의 쉬운 연동을 위하여 관계형 데이터베이스를 기반으로 구성되며, 리소스/속성/값의 RDF 기본 구조를 고려한 세 종류의 테이블로 구성된다. 또한 본 논문에서는 RDF 문서에 대한 키워드 질의 처리를 고려하여, 질의 처리 결과의 단위를 리소스로 정의한다. 그리고 주어진 키워드들에 대한 질의 처리 결과로 반환된 리소스들 간의 중요도를 평가하기 위하여 키워드간의 근접도, 키워드 내포 정도, 다양한 속성 관계를 맺고 있는 다른 리소스들을 고려한 랭킹 평가 기법을 제안한다.

Many techniques have been proposed to store and query XML data efficiently. One way achieving this goal is using relational database by transforming XML data into relational format. It is important to transform schema to preserve the content, the structure and the constraints of the semantics information of the XML document. Especially, key constraints are an important part of database theory. Therefore, the proposal technique has considered the semantics of XML as expressed by primary keys and foreign keys. And, the proposal technique can preserve not only XML data constraints but also the content and the structure and the semantics of XML data thru transformation process. Transforming information is the content and the structure of the document(the parent-child relationship), the functional dependencies, semantics of the document as captured by XML key and keyref constraints. Because of XML schema transformation ensures that preserving semantic constraints, the advantages of these transformation techniques do not need to use the stored procedure or trigger which these data ensures data integrity in the relational database. In this paper, there is not chosen the ID/IDREF key which supported in DTD, the inheritance relationship, the implicit referential integrity.

Since W3C proposed XML in 1996, XML documents have been widely spreaded in many internet documents. Because of this, needs for research related with XML is increasing. Especially, it is being well performed to study XML management system for storage, retrieval, and management with XML Documents. Among these studies, XRel is a representative study for XML management and has been become a comparative study. In this study, we suggest XML documents management system based on Relational DataBase Management System. This system is stored not all possible path expressions such as XRel, but filtered path expression which has text value or attribute value. And by giving each node Node Expression Identifier, we try to match given Node Expression Identifier. Finally, to prove efficiency of the suggested technique, this paper shows the result of experiment that compares XPath query processing performance between suggested study and existing technique, XRel.
