초록

본 논문은 구조적, 의미론적 이질성을 가진 분산 XML 문서의 통합 검색을 위해 반자동으로 생성된 인터페이스를 통해 각 지역 문서에 대한 질의를 생성하여 검색하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 시스템에서는 데이타 통합을 위한 메타데이타 인터페이스인 DDXMI(Distributed Documents XML Metadata Interface)를 정의하고, 분산 데이타에 대한 DTD를 입력으로 받아 사용자로 하여금 전역 DTD와 각 지역 DTD 간의 의미 차이를 극복하기 위한 사용자 인터페이스 생성 방법을 제안하였다. 전역 DTD와 지역 DTD의 특성을 고려하여 인덱스 매핑과 그에 필요한 함수 이름의 매핑 정보를 기반으로 DDXMI가 자동으로 생성된다. XML 질의 언어인 Quilt를 사용하여 생성된 DDXMI를 통해 각 지역 문서에 적합한 질의를 생성, 수행한다 사용자는 검색 대상 문서의 스키마와 통합스키마의 구조를 잘 알고 있다고 가정하였다. XML로 만들어진 석박사 논문, 논문지, 연구보고서에 대한 소규모, 중규모 전역 DTD를 만들어 실제로 질의를 생성하여 검색 결과를 검증할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 시스템은 JavaCC와 Java 서블릿을 이용하여 개발하였다.

We propose an extremely light DDXMI approach for semi-automated integration of both structurally and semantically heterogeneous distributed XML documents. In the proposed prototype, a DDXMI(Distributed Documents XML Metadata Interface) is defined and a user interface generator is developed. The prototype takes sources' DTDs as inputs and generates a friendly graphical user interface for the application users. The user can easily describe the semantic mapping between the integrated virtual database DTD and sources' DTDs through assigning index numbers and specifying associated function names so that the DDXMI based on the mappings is automatically generated. Quilt is selected as the XML query language which processes user queries according to the DDXMI. It is assumed that the application users know what they want from the different sources, that is, they have their own integrated database schema in their mind, and know the semantics of the involved XML databases. A small-size global DTD and a mid-size global DTB are generated to verify the rluery generation and retrieval results with 3 XML document databases, that is, Master/ph.D thesis, research reports, and journal databases. The system has been developed with JavaCC and Java Servelet.
