This paper presents a query processing model in a wrapper based on the XML view tree. The query processing in a wrapper requires view composition, query translation into local sources, and generation of XML documents from local query results. We present a query processing model based on the view tree, where the XML views and the XML query is represented by the view tree. Since the view tree keeps the structure of a virtual XML document, it is easy to navigate the path expression. The view tree is also used as a template for schema generation and XML document generation as a query result. Moreover this conceptual uniform abstraction for the XML view and the user query makes it easy to support a multi-level XML view and to implement our composition mechanism.

As we are to deal with more and more XML documents, research on storing and managing XML documents in databases are actively conducted. Employing RDBMS or ORDBMS as a repository of XML documents is currently regarded as most practical. The query results out of XML documents stored in databases could be cached for query performance though the cost of cache consistency against the update of the underlying data is incurred. In this paper, we assume that an ORDBMS is used as a repository for the XML query cache as well as its underlying XML documents, and that XML query cache is refreshed in a deferred way with the update log. When the same XML document was updated multiple times, the deferred refresh of the XML query cache may Bet inefficient. We propose an algorithm that removes or filters such duplicate updates. Based on that, the optimal SQL statements that are to be executed for XML query cache consistency are generated. Through experiments, we show the efficiency of our proposed deferred refresh of XML query cache.

XML has rapidly emerged as the standard for the interchange of data in numerous application areas. To support for efficient queries against XML data, many query languages have been designed. The query languages require the users to know the structure of the XML documents and specify search conditions on the structure. This path-based query against XML documents is a natural consequence of the hierarchical structure of XML. However, it is also desirable to allow the users to formulate no path queries against XML documents, to complement the current path-based queries. In this paper, we design a query expression capable of querying without knowledge about the structure of XML documents, and develop a query processor to evaluate no path queries.

Recently, there has been growing interest in streaming XML data. Much of the work on streaming XML data has been focused on efficient filtering of XML data. Such XML filtering systems deliver XML documents to interested users. The burden of extracting the XML fragments of interest from XML documents is placed on users. As a result, several evaluation techniques for streaming XML data, which only extract interested XML fragments by directly evaluating XML queries on streaming XML data, have been proposed. However, existing evaluation techniques for streaming XML data only support the restricted subset of XPath queries, and multiple queries cannot be evaluated by such evaluation techniques. In this paper, we propose XTREAM which evaluates multiple queries in conjunction with the read-once nature of streaming data. In contrast to the previous work, XTREAM supports a wide class of XPath queries including order based predicates and so on. Experimental results with real-life and synthetic XML data demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of XTREAM.

XML 문서를 효과적으로 관리하고 검색하기 위한 다양한 XML 질의 언어에 대한 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있지만 다양한 XML 질의 언어의 구문은 일반 사용자들이 숙지하는데 어려움이 있고, 또한 텍스트 형태의 XML 문서는 계층적인 구조로 되어있어 이러한 XML 문서의 구조를 알아야만 질의를 할 수 있다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 복잡한 XML 질의어 구문과 질의 대상인 XML 문서의 구조를 동시에 시각화하고, 사용자와의 상호작용을 통해 질의문을 자동으로 생성하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 다음과 같이 세 가지 컴포넌트를 기반으로 자동 질의어 생성을 위한 visual query interface를 제안하였다. 이 컴포넌트는 계층적 XML 문서 구조를 보여주는 XML structure viewer, 질의에 사용되는 연산자들을 아이콘화한 operator panel, 그리고 이 두 컴포넌트의 상호작용으로 작성된 질의 구문을 문법적으로 검사하기 위한 query statements panel로 구성된다. 이를 통해 다양한 계층적인 XML 문서의 구조와 복잡한 XML 질의 언어의 구문에 대해서 잘 모르는 초보자라 하더라도 쉽게 XML 문서 상에서 질의를 할 수 있다.

Since XML emerged as a standard for data exchange on the web, it has been established as a core component in e-Commerce and efficient query processing over XML data in ubiquitous computing environment has been also receiving much attention. Recently, the techniques were proposed whereby an XML document is fragmented into XML fragments to be streamed and the mobile clients receive the stream while processing queries over it. In processing queries over an XML fragment stream, the average access time significantly depends on the order of fragments in the stream. As such, for query performance, an efficient organization of XML fragment stream is required as well as the indexing for energy-efficient query processing due to the reduction of tuning time. In this paper, a technique of XML fragment stream organization based on query frequencies, fragment size, fragment access frequencies, and an active XML-based indexing scheme are proposed. Through implementation and performance experiments, our techniques were shown to be efficient compared with the conventional XML fragment stream organizations.

XML과 관련하여 XML 문서의 구조적인 특징을 고려한 XML 질의에 관한 연구가 활발히 수행되고 있다. 이들 연구들은 하나의 XML 문서 또는 XML 저장소에 저장된 여러 XML 문서들을 대상으로 효과적인 검색을 위한 XML 질의 언어의 개발이나 확장을 중심으로 연구되고 있다. 한편 XML 문서 검색의 성능 향상을 위해서 XML 저장소에는 XML 문서들 외에 그들로부터 도출된 XML 뷰를 실체 뷰로 저장해 둘 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 XQL 질의의 결과로 얻어진 XML 실체 뷰가 있다고 가정하고 이를 이용한 XQL 질의 변환에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 XML 실체 뷰 영역을 포함하는 XML 저장소의 구조를 설명하고, XQL 질의의 결과와 XML 실체 뷰 간의 포함 관계를 분류하며, 그에 따른 XQL 질의 변환 알고리즘을 제안한다.

As demand of XML documents in the Web increases, Web service applications that manage XML documents as their resource are increasing. The view mechanism for XML data could be considered for effective in query processing in these Web service applications. If the XML query results are maintained as XML materialized views and their relevant XML query is processed using them, the query response time could be reduced. There are two types of processing an in path expression, which is one of the core features of XML query languages, using XML materialized views. One is the type where the complete query result is obtained from the materialized view, and the other is the type where some of the result is obtained from the materialized view and the rest is from the underlying XML documents. In this paper, we investigate the second type. An XML query in this paper is an XML path expression which is one of the core features of XML query languages. We first describe the storage structures of the XML materialized views derived from the underlying XML documents in the XML repository. Then, we propose the algorithms to decompose a given XML query into the subquery against the materialized view and the subquery against the underlying XML documents, and to integrate the results of these subqueries. Through performance evaluation, we figure out the condition under which our XML query decomposition using materialized views is more effective than the conventional processing.

In order to integrate distributed biological information sources physically or virtually, it is necessary to overcome the heterogeneity of information sources and support a superior generality and adaptation in order to satisfy user's various demands. In this paper, we present a flexible and general XML query engine of a wrapper system in designing the middleware system to integrate data as well as application programs. Since this query engine applies user-defined XML view, it is possible to composite flexible integrated query. The query processing in a wrapper requires view composition, query translation into local sources, and generation of XML documents from local query results. We present a query processing model based on the view tree, where the n views and the XML queries are represented by the view tree. Moreover, to confirm the generality of our query processing model, we present a methodology of query processing for relational databases, web sources, and application programs whose return types of query results are relational tuples or XML documents.

데이터베이스 기반의 웹 응용을 위한 캐슁 기법이 최근 많이 연구되고 있다. 자주 제기되는 질의의 결과를 캐쉬해두면 반복 질의를 위한 재사용은 물론 관련 질의의 처리에 이용될 수 있다. 웹 상에서 데이터 교환의 표준으로 XML이 등장한 이래 현재 웹 응용들은 네트워크 상의 원격 XML 소스로부터 데이터 검색을 수행하는 경우가 많아졌는데 이의 효율적인 지원을 위해 검색 결과를 캐쉬하는 것은 유용하다. 본 논문은 웹에서 XML 질의를 관련 XML 캐쉬를 이용하여 처리하는 기법의 구현 및 성능 평가에 관한 것이다. XML 질의로 XQuery, XPath, XQL 등과 같은 모든 XML 질의어의 핵심 요소인 경로 표현식을 대상으로 하였고, XML 캐쉬는 XML 실체뷰를 고려하였고, 캐쉬를 이용한 XML 질의 변환 알고리즘은 [12]에 제시된 것을 대상으로 하였다. [12]의 질의 변환 알고리즘을 지원하는 프로토타입 XML 저장 시스템이 관계 DBMS를 이용하여 구현되어 실제 웹에서의 성능 실험에 이용되었다. 성능 실험 결과 웹에서 캐쉬를 이용한 XML 질의 처리의 효율성을 확인하였다.
