최근 XML 데이터베이스는 웹의 발전과 더불어 광범위한 인터넷의 자원 공유에 크게 기여하고 있다. XML로 작성된 문서를 저장하고 검색하기 위해 XML 문서의 저장, 질의언어, 질의처리 등에 대한 분야가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 특히 그 중 질의처리의 처리비용을 줄이기 위한 데이터 질의 최적화 기법에 관한 연구가 중요한 과제이다. 증포된 엘리먼트에 대한 기존의 색인기법들은 일차원 색인구조를 이용함으로써 XML Schema가 가지는 타입상속 개념을 고려한 XML 질의들에 대한 처리를 효율적으로 지원하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 XML Schema가 가지는 타입상속 개념을 고려한 XML 질의들에 대한 처리를 효율적으로 지원할 수 있는 다차원 증포 엘리먼트 색인구조와 다차원 경로 엘리먼트 색인구조의 운용법을 제시한다. 또한 효과적인 질의 처리를 하기 위한 XML 데이터베이스 색인구조의 유지비용을 줄이기 위하여 저장 공간 및 갱신 유지 비용을 최소화할 수 있는 효과적인 색인할당 방법을 제시한다.

The choice of an effective indexing method is crucial to guarantee the performance of the spatial join operator which is heavily used in geographical information systems. The $R^*$-tree based method is renowned as one of the most representative indexing methods. In this paper, we propose an efficient spatial join technique based on the DOT(Double Transformation) index, and compare it with the spatial Join technique based on the $R^*$-tree index. The DOT index transforms the MBR of an spatial object into a single numeric value using a space filling curve, and builds the $B^+$-tree from a set of numeric values transformed as such. The DOT index is possible to be employed as a primary index for spatial objects. The proposed spatial join technique exploits the regularities in the moving patterns of space filling curves to divide a query region into a set of maximal sub-regions within which space filling curves traverse without interruption. Such division reduces the number of spatial transformations required to perform the spatial join and thus improves the performance of join processing. The experiments with the data sets of various distributions and sizes revealed that the proposed join technique is up to three times faster than the spatial join method based on the $R^*$-tree index.

This paper presents a two-dimensional grouping index(2DG-index) for efficient processing of XML filtering queries. Recently, many index techniques have been suggested for the efficient processing of structural relationships among the elements in the XML database such as an ancestor- descendant and a parent-child relationship. However, these index techniques focus on simple path queries, and don't consider the path queries that include a condition value for filtering. The 2DG-index is an index structure that deals with the problem of clustering index entries in the twodimensional domain space that consists of a XML path identifier domain and a filtering data value domain. For performance evaluation, we have compared our proposed 2DG-index with the conventional one dimensional index structure such as the data grouping index (DG-index) and the path grouping index (PG-index). As the result of the performance evaluations, we have verified that our proposed 2DG-index can efficiently support the query processing in XML databases according to the query types.

XML documents consist of elements that are basic units of information. When the structure of XML documents is changed dynamically, we need to update structure information efficiently without changing the information of the index structure for fast retrieval. In this paper, we propose a dynamic indexing model scheme that updates the index structure in real time as the structure of XML documents is changed by insertion and deletion of elements. Our dynamic indexing model consists of a structure information representation method and a dynamic index structure. The structure information representation method supports various types of structure retrievals. Our dynamic index structure processes various structural queries efficiently. We show through various experiments that our method outperforms existing ones in processing various types of queries such as content based queries, structural queries and hybrid queries.

In this paper, we are going to develop a newly designed indexing scheme which is compatible to manage the moving objects and propose a cost model of the scheme. We propose a dynamic hashing index that insertion/delete costs are low. The dynamic hashing structure is that apply dynamic hashing techniques to combine a hash and a tree to a spatial index. We analyzed the dynamic index structure and the cost model by the frequent position update of moving objects and verified through a performance assessment experiment. The results of our extensive experiments show that the newly proposed indexing schemes(Dynamic Hashing Index) are much more efficient than the traditional the fixed grid and R-tree.

최근 대량의 텍스트 문서로부터 의미 있는 패턴이나 연관 규칙을 발견하기 위한 텍스트마이닝 기법에 대한 연구가 활발히 전개되고 있다. 하지만 비정형 텍스트 문서로부터 추출된 용어의 수는 불규칙적이고 일반적인 용어가 많이 추출되는 관계로 기존의 연관 규칙 탐사 방법을 사용하게 되면 무의미한 연관 규칙이 대량으로 생성되어 지식 정보를 효과적으로 검색하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 연관 규칙 탐사 기법을 이용하여 비감독학습 기법에 의해 대량의 문서를 효율적으로 분류하기 위한 대표 색인어 추출 기법을 제안하였다. 컴퓨터 분야의 논문을 대상으로 각 분야별 대표 색인어를 추출하여 유사한 문서끼리 분류하는 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 효율성을 보였다.

In general, we can use an inverted index for retrieving element lists from structured documents. An inverted index can retrieve a list of elements that have the same tag name. In this approach, however, the cost of query processing is linear to the length of a path query because all the structural relationships (parent-child and ancestor-descendant) should be resolved by structural join operations. In this paper, we propose an inverted index technique and a novel structural join technique for accelerating XML path query evaluation. Our inverted index can retrieve element lists for path segments in a parent-child relationship. Our structural join technique can handle lists of element pairs while the existing techniques handle lists of elements. We show through experiments that these two proposed techniques are integrated to accelerate evaluation of XML path queries.

One of the most important issues of object-oriented geographical database system is to develop an indexing technique which enables more efficient I/O processing within aggregation hierarchy or inheritance hierarchy. Up to present, several indexing schemes have been developed for this purpose. However, they have separately focused on aggregation hierarchy or inheritance hierarchy of object-oriented data model. A recent research is proposing a nested-inherited index which combines these two hierarchies simultaneously. However, this new index has some weak points. It has high storage costs related to its use of auxiliary index. Also, it cannot clearly represent the inheritance relationship among classes within its index structure. To solve these problems, this thesis proposes a pointer-chain index. Using pointer chain directory, this index composes a hierarchy-typed chain to show the hierarchical relationship among classes within inheritance hierarchy. By doing these, it could fetch the OID list of objects to be retrieved more easily than before. In addition, the pointer chain directory structure could accurately recognize target cases and subclasses and deal with "select-all" typed query without collection of schema semantic information. Also, it could avoid the redundant data storing, which usually happens in the process of using auxiliary index. This study evaluates the performance of pointer chain indexing technique by way of simulation method to compare nested-inherited index. According to this simulation, the pointer chain index is proved to be more efficient with regard to storage cost than nested-inherited index. Especially in terms of retrieval operation, it shows efficient performance to that of nested-inherited index.

Recently, there have been researches on storage and retrieval technique of moving objects, which are highly concerned by user in database application area such as video databases, spatio-temporal databases, and mobile databases. In this paper, we propose a new signature-based indexing scheme which supports similar sub-trajectory retrieval at well as good retrieval performance on moving objects trajectories. Our signature-based indexing scheme is classified into concatenated signature-based indexing scheme for similar sub-trajectory retrieval, entitled CISR scheme and superimposed signature-based indexing scheme for similar sub-trajectory retrieval, entitled SISR scheme according to generation method of trajectory signature based on trajectory data of moving object. Our indexing scheme can improve retrieval performance by reducing a large number of disk access on data file because it first scans all signatures and does filtering before accessing the data file. In addition, we can encourage retrieval efficiency by appling k-warping algorithm to measure the similarity between query trajectory and data trajectory. Final]y, we evaluate the performance on sequential scan method(SeqScan), CISR scheme, and SISR scheme in terms of data insertion time, retrieval time, and storage overhead. We show from our experimental results that both CISR scheme and SISR scheme are better than sequential scan in terms of retrieval performance and SISR scheme is especially superior to the CISR scheme.

This paper presents a hierarchical structuring method for the multidimensional type inheritance indices (MD-TIXs) that support the processing of XML queries in XML databases. MD-TIX uses a multidimensional index structure for efficiently supporting ancestor-descendant explorations that involve both nested element and type inheritance hierarchies. However, In the case of a long Xpath, the building and maintenance of MD-TIX are very difficult because of index entry construction problem. So, we propose a type inheritance index hierarchy method for solving this difficulty. We first construct base indices that support direct relationship explorations between adjacent two types on a given Xpath, and then, based on these base indices, we construct hierarchically the derived indices that support indirect relationship explorations between any two types of Xpath until constructing one target index for supporting the full Xpath. And we also present an algorithm that efficiently constructs a partial index hierarchy for supporting given a set of sub-pathes explorations.
