XML 데이터 사용이 급속도로 증가함에 따라 대용량의 XML 데이터를 저장 관리하는 기술이 요구되고 있다. XML과 관계 데이터베이스의 구조적 불일치로 인해, 관계 데이터베이스에 저장된 XML 데이터에 대한 질의를 처리하여 XML 문서를 생성하기 위해서는 별도의 처리과정이 요구된다. 본 논문은 패스테이블에 표현된 스키마 구조 정보를 이용하여 XQuery 질의에서 요구하는 데이터를 위한 SQL 문을 만들고, 질의 결과 XML에 대한 구조 정보를 추출하여 SQL에 의해 출력된 결과를 XML 문서로 생성해 주는 단순한 방법을 제안한다.

For analyzing a huge amount of web pages available in the Internet, we need to extract the encoded information in web pages. In this paper, we propose a method to extract and convert web information from web pages into XML documents for multidimensional analysis. For extracting information from web pages, we propose two languages: one for describing web information extraction rules based on the object-oriented model, and another for describing regular expressions of HTML tag patterns to search for target information. For multidimensional analysis on XML documents, we propose a method for constructing an XML warehouse and various XML cubes from it like the way we do for relational data. Finally, we show the validness of our method through the application to US patent web pages.

This paper proposes an XML based Multimedia Annotation and Retrieval System, which can represent and retrieve video data efficiently using XML. The system provides a graphical user interface for annotating, searching, and browsing multimedia data. It is Implemented based on the hierarchical metadata model to represent multimedia information. The metadata about video is organized based on multimedia description schema using XML Schema that basically conforms to the MPEG-7 standard. Also, for the effective indexing and retrieval of multimedia data, video segments are annotated and categorized using the closed caption.

XML 데이터베이스 시스템이 개발되면 다른 XML 데이터베이스 시스템과의 성능 비교, 또는 자체 기능에 대한 성능 평가를 수행한다. 성능 평가를 수행하기 위해서는 해당 성능 평가에 적합한 XML 데이터를 생성하는 XML 데이터 생성기가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 지금까지 개발되었던 다양한 XML 데이터 생성기들의 특징 및 장단점을 살펴보고, 이를 기반으로 하나의 사용자 인터페이스를 이용하여 XML 데이터를 생성하는 통합 XML 데이터 생성기의 설계 내용을 기술한다. 통합 XML 데이터 생성기는 레코드 단위의 텍스트 데이터 파일의 내용을 기반으로 XML 데이터를 생성한다. 통합 XML 데이터 생성기는 관계형 데이터베이스 시스템의 데이터를 이용하여 XML 데이터로 생성하는 등 사용자가 제공하는 데이터 활용이 가능하며, 타 XML 데이터 생성기에 비해 다양한 XML 데이터를 생성함으로써 광범위한 XML 데이터베이스 시스템 성능 평가에 이용될 수 있다.

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.

Nowadays, XML has been favored by many companies internally and externally as a means of sharing and distributing data, due to its open-architectural structure. XML-GL, a graphical query language for document has the advantage of containing both structuring and defining of itself. By incorporating UML an XML document can become object-oriented and can be represented by graphical means. This paper proposes a XML-GL query modeling solution by using UML class diagrams. In order for the modeled objects to be properly restricted, the Object Constraint Language has been defined. This process converts XML documents into Object-Oriented data and combined with UML class diagrams, searches for XML documents can be increased.

XML is a data-oriented language to represent all types of documents including web documents. By means of the advent of XML-based document generation tools and grow of proprietary XML documents using those tools and translation from legacy data to XML documents at an accelerating pace, we have been gotten a large amount of differently-structured XML documents. Therefore, it is more and more important to retrieve the right documents from the document set. But, previous works on XML have mainly focused on the storage and retrieval methods for a large XML document or XML documents had a same DTD. And, researches that supported the structural difference did not efficiently process path queries on the document set. To resolve the problem, we suggested a new inverted index mechanism using RDBMS and proved it outperformed the previous works. And especially, as it showed the higher efficiency in indirect containment relationship, we argues that the index structure is fit for the differently-structured XML document set.

XML encryption is to provide confidentiality service, though not limited to, for web contents. XML encryption can be applied to entire data files as opaque objects, or more frequently to various parts of XML documents, supporting various encryption granularity. It is this characteristic that makes XML encryption a more efficient alternative for data confidentiality in various web applications than is possible with SSL/TLS, IPsec, PGP, or S/MIME. It is essential for successful deployment of XML encryption to achieve interoperability among the products implementing this technology, which requires the products to implement the XML encryption standards correctly. Conformance testing is to test if products implement the relevant standard correctly. In this paper we present a conformance testing method for XML encryption products and implement it. We will first look at XML encryption standards developed by W3C, and extract test criteria. Then we propose a testing method in which the encryption capability and the decryption capability of a product are tested separately. The proposed methody is actually implemented as a GUI-based testing tool and some test results are presented.

The Hippocratic database model recently proposed by Agrawal et al. incorporates privacy protection capabilities into relational databases. Since the Hippocratic database is based on the relational database, it needs extensions to be adapted for XML databases. In this paper, we propose the Hippocratic XML database model, an extension of the Hippocratic database model for XML databases and present an efficient access control mechanism under this model. In contrast to relational data, XML data have tree-like hierarchies. Thus, in order to manage these hierarchies of XML data, we extend and formally define such concepts presented in the Hippocratic database model as privacy preferences, privacy policies, privacy authorizations, and usage purposes of data records. Next, we present a new mechanism, which we call the authorization index, that is used in the access control mechanism. This authorization index, which is Implemented using a multi-dimensional index, allows us to efficiently search authorizations implied by the authorization granted on the nearest ancestor using the nearest neighbor search technique. Using synthetic and real data, we have performed extensive experiments comparing query processing time with those of existing access control mechanisms. The results show that the proposed access control mechanism improves the wall clock time by up to 13.6 times over the top-down access control strategy and by up to 20.3 times over the bottom-up access control strategy The major contributions of our paper are 1) extending the Hippocratic database model into the Hippocratic XML database model and 2) proposing an efficient across control mechanism that uses the authorization index and nearest neighbor search technique under this model.

This study describes the XML-based digitalization of structural design sheets for RC buildings to exchange on the web. For this purpose, first, the data structure of XML document that represents the structural design skeets, including mathematical expressions and graphics that cannot be easily exchanged on the web, is defined. Then, the presentation of the XML documents on the web is discussed. The prototype that facilitates the web-based exchange of the XML documents we developed and the feasibility of the results of this study is discussed.
