In a general tendency that DBMS is used as a tool for storing large size of triple knowledge, it still remains in issue that which DBMS schema should be designed for storing, managing, inferring, and querying the triple knowledge efficiently. In this paper, we present, in the view point of efficient query process, a method that processes a query using Expanded Class-Property Views (ECPV) and, as a result, improvement in response time. The response time of DBMS-based inference systems is proportioned to table size and the number of table join operations. The more query is complex, the more join operations it requires, and the longer response time it requires. ECPV is a table obtained by processing possible join operations before queries. To use ECPV in the query process, SPARQL queries should be converted into corresponding ECPV-based SQL queries. This paper describes the conversion process and shows the improvement in response time by experiments.

As XML became the standard of data exchange in the internet, the needs for effective query processing for XML data in streaming environment is increasing. Applying the existing database technique which processes data with the unit of tuple to the streaming XML data causes the out-of-memory problem due to limited memory volume. Likewise the cost for searching query path and accessing specific data may be remarkably increased because of special structure of XML. In a word it is unreasonable to apply the existing database system to the streaming environment that processes query for partial data, not the whole one. Thus, it should be able to search partial streaming data that rapidly satisfies join predicate through using low-capacity memory, based on a store technique suitable to streaming XML data. In this thesis, in order to study the store technique for low-capacity memory, the PCDATA and the CDATA-related parts, which can be used as predicate on join query, were fetched and saved. In addition, in an attempt to compare rapid join predicates, the range window of streaming XML data was set with the object of selectively joining windows that satisfies the query, based on Cardinality * and + among the structure information of DTD.

W3C has selected OWL as a standard for Web ontology description and a necessity of research on storage models that can store OWL ontologies effectively has been issued. Until now, relational model-based storage systems such as Jena, Sesame, and DLDB, have been developed, but there still remain several issues. Especially, they lead inefficient query processing performance. The structural problems of their low query processing performance are as follow: Jena has a simple structure which is not normalized and also stores most information in a single table. It exponentially decreases the performance because of comparison with unnecessary information for processing queries requiring join operations as well as simple search. The structures of storages(e.g., Sesame) have been completely normalized. Therefore it executes many join operations for query processing. The storages require many join operations to find simply a specific class. This paper proposes a storage model to resolve the problems that the query processing performance is decreased because of non-normalization or complete normalization of the existing storages. To achieve this goal, we analyze the problems of existing storage models as well as relations of OWL elements and query patterns. The proposed model, defined with the analysis results, provides an optimal normalized structure to minimize join operations or unnecessary information comparison. For the experiment of query processing performance, a LUBM data sets are used and query patterns are defined considering search targets and their hierarchical relations. In addition, this paper conducts experiments on correctness and completeness of query results to verify data loss of the proposed model, and the results are described. With the comparative evaluation results, our proposal showed a better performance than the existing storage models.

In this paper, we deal with a method of efficiently processing continuous queries in a data stream environment. We classify previous query processing methods into two dual categories - data-initiative and query-initiative - depending on whether query processing is initiated by selecting a data element or a query. This classification stems from the fact that data and queries have been treated asymmetrically. For processing continuous queries, only data-initiative methods have traditionally been employed, and thus, the performance gain that could be obtained by query-initiative methods has been overlooked. To solve this problem, we focus on an observation that data and queries can be treated symmetrically. In this paper, we propose the duality model of data and queries and, based on this model, present a new viewpoint of transforming the continuous query processing problem to a multi-dimensional spatial join problem. We also present a continuous query processing algorithm based on spatial join, named Spatial Join CQ. Spatial Join CQ processes continuous queries by finding the pairs of overlapping regions from a set of data elements and a set of queries defined as regions in the multi-dimensional space. The algorithm achieves the effects of both of the two dual methods by using the spatial join, which is a symmetric operation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms earlier methods by up to 36 times for simple selection continuous queries and by up to 7 times for sliding window join continuous queries.

As XML is a do facto standard for a data exchange language, there have been several researches on efficient processing XML queries. The most important thing to consider when processing XML queries is how efficiently we can process path expressions in queries. Some previous works make results by performing a sequence of join operations on all records corresponding to labels in the path expression. Others works check the existence of paths in the query using an RDBMS's string comparison operator and make results by extracting the records corresponding to the paths. In this paper we suggested a new query planning algorithm based on path containment relationships and two join operators supporting the planning algorithm. The join operators use only the records related to the paths in a query as input data, scan them only once, and generate result data using a pipelining mechanism. By analysis and experiments, we confirmed that our techniques(a new query planning algorithm and two join operators) achieved significantly higher performance than other previous works.

As XML is gaining unqualified success in being adopted as a universal data representation and exchange format, particularly in the World Wide Web, the problem of querying XML documents poses interesting challenges to database researcher. Several structural XML query processing methods, including XISS and XR-tree, for past years, have been proposed for fast query processing. However, structural XML query processing has the problem of requiring expensive Join cost for twig path query Recently, sequence matching based XML query processing methods, including ViST and PRIX, have been proposed to solve the problem of structural XML query processing methods. Through sequence matching based XML query processing methods match structured queries against structured data as a whole without breaking down the queries into sub queries of paths or nodes and relying on join operations to combine their results. However, determining the structural relationship of ViST is incorrect because its numbering scheme is not optimized. And PRIX requires many processing time for matching LPS and NPS about XML data trees and queries. Therefore, in this paper, we propose efficient sequence matching method u sing the bottom-up query processing for efficient XML query processing. Also, to verify the superiority of our index structure, we compare our sequence matching method with ViST and PRIX in terms of query processing with linear path or twig path including wild-card('*' and '//').

대용량의 데이터가 저장되는 데이터 웨어하우징 환경에서는 조인이나 집계 함수와 같은 고비용의 연산의 효율적인 처리는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 집계 함수(aggregate function)와 조인이 모두 포함된 질의를 처리하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 먼저 차원 테이블(dimension table)을 미리 그룹핑한 후, 비트맵 조인 인덱스(bitmap join index)를 이용하여 조인을 처리하는 방식을 사용한다. 이 결과, 사실 테이블만을 접근하여 집계 함수를 처리함으로써 기존 기법이 가지는 성능 저하의 문제점을 해결할 수 있다. 기존 기법과 제안하는 기법에 대한 비용 모델(cost model)을 정립하고, 이를 기반으로 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로써 제안된 기법의 우수성을 규명한다.

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.

Join operation exert a great effect on the performance of system in temporal database as in the relational database. Especially, as for the temporal join, the optimization of interval partition decides the performance of query processing. In this paper, to improve the efficiency of parallel join query in temporal database. I proposed Minimum Interval Partition(MIP) scheme that time interval partitioning. The validity of this MIP algorithm that decides minimum breakpoint of the partition is proved by example scenario and I confirmed improved efficiency as compared with existing partition algorithm.
