XML can describe a wide range of data, from regular to irregular and from flat to deeply nested. Thus, XML is rapidly emerging as the do facto standard for the Web document format since XML supports an efficient data exchange and integration. Also, to retrieve the data represented by XML, several XML query languages are proposed. XML query languages such as XPath and XQuery use path expressions to traverse irregularly structured data which comprise B% elements. To evaluate path expressions, various path indexes are proposed. However, traditional path indexes are constructed by utilizing only the XML data structure. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an adaptive path index which utilizes the XML data structure as well as query workloads. To improve the query performance, the adaptive path index proposed by this paper manages the frequently used paths and the structural summary of the XML data using a hash tree and a graph structure. Experimental results show that the adaptive path index improves the query performance typically 2 to 69 times compared with the existing indexes.

This paper studied and proposed a XML document storing-and-retrieval framework based on a variant k-ary complete tree and a RDF metadata, which is composed of an effective storing module to store xml documents, a retrieving module to retrieve xml documents, and a connecting module to make this system intemperate in the web environment. In this storing module, DTD independent DOM based decomposition model using a method of addressing unique ill using a variant k-ary complete tree is adopted and is implemented. Query Processing Module includes a XPath query process and a content based retrieval function using word index for content information. To retrieve more exactly data, a structural retrieval using RDF metadata is adopted and implemented. In order to implement effectively XML document storing and retrieval system in the web environment, API using XML-RPC, API using HTTP's GET, PUT, POST and API using SOAP have been adopted and implemented.

Recently, there has been growing interest in streaming XML data. Much of the work on streaming XML data has been focused on efficient filtering of XML data. Such XML filtering systems deliver XML documents to interested users. The burden of extracting the XML fragments of interest from XML documents is placed on users. As a result, several evaluation techniques for streaming XML data, which only extract interested XML fragments by directly evaluating XML queries on streaming XML data, have been proposed. However, existing evaluation techniques for streaming XML data only support the restricted subset of XPath queries, and multiple queries cannot be evaluated by such evaluation techniques. In this paper, we propose XTREAM which evaluates multiple queries in conjunction with the read-once nature of streaming data. In contrast to the previous work, XTREAM supports a wide class of XPath queries including order based predicates and so on. Experimental results with real-life and synthetic XML data demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of XTREAM.

It is appropriate to use the NETCONF to monitor and manage today's complex networks that are composed of variety links and heterogeneous equipment. Since the first standard of the NETCONF are launched, there have been several revisions, but disadvantages of each layer capabilities is still present and the most typical disadvantage is XML document processing efficiency of the Content layer. In this paper, we perform data modeling by constructing a sub-tree based on the dependencies between Content layer data, and suggest method of extract efficiently data from XML by applying the extended VTD-XML technique for the XPath query. We performs experiment to compare NETCONF in proposed method to NETCONF in previous studies and NETCONF standard. we validate superiority of improved NETCONF in the paper. As experimental results, we verify that improved NETCONF is better than the other two NETCONF each 4% and 10% in terms of query processing rate, and faster than each 3.9 seconds and 10.4 seconds in terms of query processing speed.

In this paper, we propose an extended XPath specification which includes a special matching character '%' used in the LIKE operation of SQL in order to solve the difficulty of writing some queries to filter element contents well, using the previous XPath specification. We also present a novel technique for filtering a collection of document-centric XMLs, called Pfilter, which is able to exploit the extended XPath specification. Owing to sharing the common prefix characters of the operands in value-based predicates, the Pfilter improves the performance in processing those. We show several performance studies, comparing Pfilter with Yfilter in respect to efficiency and scalability as using multi-query processing time (MQPT), and reporting the results with respect to inserting, deleting, and processing of value-based predicates. In conclusion, our approach provides a core algorithm for evaluating the contains() function of XPath queries in previous XML filtering researches, and a foundation for building XML-based distributed information systems.

최근 바이오 인포매틱스 분야의 발전에 따라 방대한 양의 유전체 데이터에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 데이터를 효율적으로 다루기 위해 다양한 형태의 파일과 데이터베이스들이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 표준화의 미비로 인하여 데이터의 관리 및 변환에 어려움이 많다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 시퀀싱을 통해 생성된 유전체 및 단백질 서열 데이터의 통합 저장 관리를 위해 서열 정보의 편집, 저장 및 검색과 서열 파일 포맷 변환을 수행하는 서열 정보관리 시스템의 구현을 목적으로 한다. 이러한 요구사항을 만족시키기 위해 바이오 인포메틱스 데이터를 다루기 위한 표준으로 BSML(Bioinformatic Sequence Markup Language)을 채택하고 이질적 플랫파일들은 DTD를 기반으로 BSML 스키마로 통합 및 저장한다. 그리고 객체 관계 데이터베이스 특성을 적용하여 XML 문서를 보다 쉽게 저장 관리하고 범위 또는 구조적 질의에 효율적인 XPath 질의 처리를 위한 시스템을 개발하였다.

최근 MP3 저작권에 대한 찬반 논란이 계속 되면서, 기존의 클라이언트-서버가 아닌 Peer-To-Peer(P2P) 기반의 데이터 검색 시스템에 관한 여러 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만. 검색 방법에 있어서는 단순히 파일이름을 이용한 데이터 검색 방법이 주류를 이루고 있는데 본 논문에서는 검색을 위한 문서 정보를 XML 형태로 저장하고, 구조적인 검색을 용이하게 하기 위해 DOM(Document Object Model)을 이용하여 XML 문서를 트리 형태로 구성한 후 P2P 네트워킹 플랫폼인 JXTA를 기반으로 XPath 질의를 수행함으로써 P2P 네트워크 기반에서 구조적 검색이 가능한 시스템을 구현하였다.

XML is broadly using for data storing and processing. XML is specified its structural characteristic and user can query with XPath when information from data document is needed. XPath query can process when the tern and structure of document and query is matched with each other. However, nowadays there are lots of data documents which are made by using different terminology and structure therefore user can not know the exact idea of target data. In fact, there are many possibilities that target data document has information which user is find or a similar ones. Accordingly user query should be processed when their term usage or structural characteristic is slightly different with data document. In order to do that we suggest a XML document ranking method based on path similarity. The method can measure a semantic similarity between user query and data document using three steps which are position, node and relaxation factors.

This paper introduces the development XPERT(XML Query Processing Engine using Relational Technologies) which is based on relational model. In our system we have used a decomposed approach to store XML files in relational tables. XML queries are translated to SQLs according to the table schema, and then they are sent to the relational DBMS to get the results back. Our translation scheme produces AST(Abstract Syntax Tree) by analyzing XQuery expressions at first. And on traversing AST proper SQLs are generated. Translated SQLs can reduce the number of joins by using path information and utilize dewey number to preserve document originated orderings among compoments in XML. In addition we propose the efficient algorithms of XPath and XQuery translation. And finally we show the implementation of our prototype system for the functional evaluations.

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.
