The most representative approach for efficient storing of XML data is to store XML data in relational databases. The merit of this approach is that it can easily accept the realistic status that most data are still stored in relational databases. This approach needs to convert XML data into relational data or relational data into XML data. The most important issue in the translation is to reflect structural and semantic relations of RDB to XML schema model exactly. Many studies have been done to resolve the issue, but those methods have several problems: Not cover structural semantics or just support explicit referential integrity relations. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for extracting implicit referential integrities automatically. We also design and implement the suggested algorithm, and execute comparative evaluations using translated XML documents. The proposed algorithm provides several good points such as improving semantic information extraction and conversion, securing sufficient referential integrity of the target databases, and so on. By using the suggested algorithm, we can guarantee not only explicit referential integrities but also implicit referential integrities of the initial relational schema model completely. That is, we can create more exact XML schema model through the suggested algorithm.

XML is rapidly becoming one of the most widely adopted technologies for information exchange and representation on the World Wide Web. However, the large part of data is still stored in a relational database. Hence, we need to convert relational data into XML documents. The most important point of the conversion is to reflect referential integrities In relational schema model to XML schema model exactly. Until now, FT, NeT and CoT are suggested as existing approaches for conversion from the relational schema model to the XML schema model but these approaches only reflect referential integrities which are defined explicitly for conversion. In this paper, we suggest an algorithm for automatic extraction of implicit referential integrities such as foreign key constraints which is not defined explicitly in the initial relational schema model. We present translated XML documents by existing algorithms and suggested algorithms as comparison evaluation. We also compare suggested algorithm and conventional algorithms by simluation in accuracy part.

The Web site which many people manage and maintenance much HTML page is so difficult to solve broken link like as dangling reference and inaccurate contents reference. That is, in the case we update or delete connections structure between HTML documents, it is difficult to guarantee referential integrity of Web Pages. In this chapter, we surveyed and defined integrity constraints condition between the parent page and child page, and studied about method to express by extension UML. WWW, Constraints, UML

XML is rapidly becoming technologies for information exchange and representation. It causes many research issues such as semantic modeling methods, security, conversion far interoperability with other models, and so on. Especially, the most important issue for its practical application is how to achieve the interoperability between XML model and relational model. Until now, many suggestions have been proposed to achieve it. However several problems still remain. Most of all, the exiting methods do not consider implicit referential integrity relations, and it causes incorrect data delivery. One method to do this has been proposed with the restriction where one semantic is defined as only one same name in a given database. In real database world, this restriction cannot provide the application and extensibility. This paper proposes a noble conversion (RDB-to-XML) algorithm based on the similarity checking technique. The key point of our method is how to find implicit referential integrity relations between different field names presenting one same semantic. To resolve it, we define an enhanced implicity referentiai integrity relations extraction algorithm based on a widely used ontology, WordNet. The proposed conversion algorithm is more practical than the previous-similar approach.

Self-maintainability of data warehouse(DW) views is an ability to maintain the DW views without requiring an access to (i) any underlying databases or (ii) any information beyond the DW views and the delta of the databases. With our proposed method, DW views can be updated by using only the old views and the differential files such as different files, referential integrity differential files, linked differential files, and backward-linked differential files that keep the truly relevant tuples in the delta. This method avoids accessing the underlying databases in that the method achieves self-maintainability even in preparing auxiliary information. We showed that out method can be applicable to the DW views that contain joins over relations in a star schema, a snowflake schema, or a galaxy schema.

XML has been become the new standard for publishing and exchanging data on the Web. However, most business data is still stored and maintained in relational database management systems. As such, there is an increasing need to efficiently publish relational data as XML data for Internet-based applications. The most important issue in the transformation is to reflect structural and semantic relations of RDB to XML schema exactly. Most transformation approaches have been done to resolve the issue, but those methods have several problems. In this paper, we discuss algorithm in transforming a relational database schema into corresponding XML schema in XML Schema. We aim to achieve not only explicit/implicit referential integrity relation information but also high level of nested structure while introducing no data redundancy for the transformed XML schema. To achieve these goals, we propose a transformation model which is redundancy free and then we improve the XML Schema structure by exploring more nested structure.

The join operator is fundamental in relational database systems. Evaluating join queries on large tables is challenging because records need to be efficiently matched based on a given key. In this work, we analyze join queries in SQL with large tables in which a foreign key may be null, invalid or valid, given a referential integrity constraint. We conduct an extensive join performance evaluation on three DBMSs. Specifically, we study join queries varying table sizes, row size and key probabilistic distribution, inserting null, invalid or valid foreign key values. We also benchmark three well-known query optimizations: view materialization, secondary index and join reordering. Our experiments show certain optimizations perform well across DBMSs, whereas other optimizations depend on the DBMS architecture.

데이터 웨어하우스는 효과적인 질의와 분석을 위해 물리적으로 여러 사이트에 분산된 소스 데이터로부터 통합된 정보를 추출하여 저장한 데이터 저장소로써, 실체 뷰의 집합으로 구성된다. 따라서 데이터 소스에 변경 사항이 발생하면 데이터 웨어하우스와 일관성을 유지하기 위해 실체 뷰에도 변경 사항을 반영하는 뷰 관리가 필요하다. 동시에 변경되는 여러 데이터 소스와 뷰의 상태 사이에 일관성을 보장하기 위해서는 각 소스의 변경 사항을 순서대로 뷰에 반영해야 한다. 이때 각 소스의 변경 사항을 뷰 정의와 관련된 다른 소스들과 조인을 수행해야 하는 등 뷰 갱신을 위해 많은 비용이 소요된다. PSWEEP/RI 기법은 이러한 뷰 갱신 비용을 줄이는 방법으로 뷰의 일관성을 보장하기 위해 수행해야 하는 서브질의를 참조 무결성 제약조건의 특성을 이용하여 병렬로 처리하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 PSWEEP/RI기법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 이 방법의 비용 모델을 분석적으로 제시하였으며, 이 모델을 기반으로 다른 기존의 방법(SWEEP)과 성능을 비교 분석하여, PSWEEP/RI 기법이 다른 기존의 방법(SWEEP)보다 여러 소스 릴레이션의 조인으로 구성된 실체 뷰를 갱신하는 시간을 크게 단축하여 효율적으로 뷰를 관리하며, 소스의 증가에 따른 뷰 갱신 시간의 증가를 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

XLink is XML Linking Language that defines links between XML documents or XML elements. It uses XML syntax to create structures that can describe links similar to the simple unidirectional hyperlinks of HTML, as well as more sophisticated links. There exist several relationships between resources that linked by XLink. Without supports from XML Repository for these relationship management, there is a huge overhead related to the management of relationships during both application development and maintenance, since the relationships need to be hard-coded directly into the application program itself. In this paper, we propose an XLink supporting system in object repository. We describe the design and implementation of this system on top of XDOM(persistent DOMlink XML repository). To support XLink, our system offers referential relationship semantics, extended link and the expansion of DOM tree for XLink.
