초록

본 논문에서는 대규모 이질 XML 문서들에 대한 부분 매치 질의를 효과적으로 처리하는 새로운 방법 XIR-Linear를 제안한다. XPath 질의는 XML 문서를 표현하는 트리 구조에 대한 경로 표현식 (path expression)으로 쓰여진다. 주요한 형태의 XPath 질의는 부분 매치 질의(partial match query)이다. XIR-Linear의 목적은 이질적인 스키마들을 가진 대규모 문서들에 대한 부분 매치 질의를 효과적으로 지원하는 것이다. XIR-Linear는 관계형 테이블을 이용한 스키마-레벨 방법에 기반을 두고, 역 인덱스 (inverted index) 기술을 사용하여 XPath 질의 처리의 효율성을 획기적으로 향상시킨다. 본 방법은 레이블 경로(label path)를 덱스트로 간주하고 레이블 경로 내의 레이블(label)들을 텍스트 내에 있는 키워드(keyword)로 간주한 후, 레이블들을 정보 검색 기술을 이용하여 인덱스 함으로써 전통적인 방법들에서 사용된 스트링 매치(string match) 보다 효율적인 방법으로 질의와 매치되는 레이블 경로들을 찾을 수 있도록 하였다. 성능 평가에서는 인터넷에서 수집한 XML 문서들을 사용하여 기존의 관계형 테이블을 이용하는 XRel, XParent와 비교 실험함으로써, 제안한 방법의 효율성을 입증한다. 실험을 통해 XIR-Linear가 실험 범위 내에서 XRel 이나 XParent에 비해 수십 배 이상 좋은 성능을 보이며, XML 문서 수의 증가함에 따라 더욱 우수하다는 것을 보인다.

We propose XIR-Linear, a novel method for processing partial match queries on large-scale heterogeneous XML documents using information retrieval (IR) techniques. XPath queries are written in path expressions on a tree structure representing an XML document. An XPath query in its major form is a partial match query. The objective of XIR-Linear is to efficiently support this type of queries for large-scale documents of heterogeneous schemas. XIR-Linear has its basis on the schema-level methods using relational tables and drastically improves their efficiency and scalability using an inverted index technique. The method indexes the labels in label paths as key words in texts, and allows for finding the label paths that match the queries far more efficiently than string match used in conventional methods. We demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of XIR-Linear by comparing it with XRel and XParent using XML documents crawled from the Internet. The results show that XIR-Linear is more efficient than both XRel and XParent by several orders of magnitude for linear path expressions as the number of XML documents increases.
