XML 문서를 비롯하여 인터넷을 통해 교환되는 문서의 비약적인 증가로 인하여, 불필요한 문서에 대한 필터링 및 문서 내의 데이터를 필터링하여 정보를 선택적으로 사용하고자 하는 사용자의 요구가 증대되었다. 기존 XML 필터링 방식은 질의 구조에 의존적이기 때문에, 질의 증가에 따른 필터링 인덱스 구성 및 유지의 문제점을 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 정보 추출 분야에서 널리 사용되는 단어 벡터의 개념을 사용하여 선택적으로 질의에 가중치를 주어 데이터를 효율적으로 추출할 수 있는 XML WFilter (Weighted Filtering) 기법을 제안한다.

스트리밍 XML 필터링 기법은 사용자가 등록한 질의를 만족하는 XML 문서를 찾아 사용자에게 XML 문서의 복사본을 돌러주는 것을 목적하고 있다. 본 연구는 Xfiiter와는 차별된 방법으로 역 인덱스를 사용하여 Xfilter처럼 역 인덱스가 XML 필터링 동안 동적으로 변하는 특성을 제거한다. 또한 늦은 질의 삭제 전략을 이용함으로써 질의 삭제 시간을 $50\%$ 이상 줄인다. 따라서 본 기법은 Xfilter에 비해 적은 필터링 시간과 질의 추가/삭제 시간을 보여준다. 또한 역 인덱스를 사용한 기법들의 제한점을 Yfilter와 비교하여 보여 준다.

There have been many filtering systems covering mail or news. Documents filtered by them consist of general text or HTML. XML is emerging as a new standard for information exchange. So, filtering systems need new approaches in dealing with XML documents. Our system suggests a method to describe user profiles with XML's ability to represent schema and structure. An user profile is made from DTD information and it is supposed to point the specific part of a document conforming to the DTD. More, it is different from the existing systems in extracting part of a document. An user profile is reflected in XML query to get part of an XML document.

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.

In this paper, we propose an extended XPath specification which includes a special matching character '%' used in the LIKE operation of SQL in order to solve the difficulty of writing some queries to filter element contents well, using the previous XPath specification. We also present a novel technique for filtering a collection of document-centric XMLs, called Pfilter, which is able to exploit the extended XPath specification. Owing to sharing the common prefix characters of the operands in value-based predicates, the Pfilter improves the performance in processing those. We show several performance studies, comparing Pfilter with Yfilter in respect to efficiency and scalability as using multi-query processing time (MQPT), and reporting the results with respect to inserting, deleting, and processing of value-based predicates. In conclusion, our approach provides a core algorithm for evaluating the contains() function of XPath queries in previous XML filtering researches, and a foundation for building XML-based distributed information systems.

In recent years, publish-subscribe (pub-sub) systems based on XML document filtering have received much attention. In a typical pub-sub system, subscribed users specify their interest in profiles expressed in the XPath language, and each new content is matched against the user profiles so that the content is delivered to only the interested subscribers. As the number of subscribed users and their profiles can grow very large, the scalability of the system is critical to the success of pub-sub services. In this paper, we propose a fast and scalable XML filtering system called SFiST which is an extension of the FiST system. Sharable segments are extracted from twig patterns and stored into the hash-based Segment Table in SFiST system. Segments are used to represent user profiles as Terse Sequences and stored in the Compact Segment Index during filtering. Our experimental study shows that SFiST system has better performance than FiST system in terms of filtering time and memory usage.

XPath 명세는 XML 원소 내용을 필터링하기 위한 질의어 작성이 어렵다. 본 논문은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 SQL의 LIKE 연산자에서 사용되던 특별한 매칭 문자 '%' 를 허용한 확장된 XPath 명세와 그것을 표준 질의어로 사용하는 문서-중심적 XML 필터링 기법인 Pfilter를 제안한다. Pfilter는 값-기반 술어(value-based predicate)에서 피연산자의 공통 앞부분 문자를 공유하여 값-기반 술어의 처리 성능을 향상시킨다. 또한 본 논문은 Pfilter와 대표적인 데이터-중심적 XML 필터링 기법인 Yfilter를 값-기반 술어 처리의 확장성과 효율성에 대해 비교하고 Pfilter의 값-기반 술어 삽입, 삭제, 처리 결과를 제공한다.

In recent years, publish-subscribe (pub-sub) systems based on XML document filtering have received much attention. In a typical pub-sub system, subscribing users specify their interest in profiles expressed in the XPath language, and each new content is matched against the user profiles so that the content is delivered only to the interested subscribers. As the number of subscribed users and their profiles can grow very large, the scalability of the system is critical to the success of pub-sub services. In this paper, we propose a novel scalable filtering system called FiST(Filtering by Sequencing Twigs) that transforms twig patterns expressed in XPath and XML documents into sequences using Prufer's method. As a consequence, instead of matching linear paths of twig patterns individually and merging the matches during post-processing, FiST performs holistic matching of twig patterns with incoming documents. FiST organizes the sequences into a dynamic hash based index for efficient filtering. We demonstrate that our holistic matching approach yields lower filtering cost and good scalability under various situations.

Recent studies on XML filtering assume that all data sources follow a single global schema defined in a filtering system. However, beyond this simple assumption, a filtering system can provide a service that allows data publishers to have their own schema; hence, the data sources will become heterogeneous. The number of data sources is expected to be large in a filtering system and the data sources are frequently published, updated, and disappeared, that is, dynamic. In this paper, we introduce implementing a simple and efficient XPath query translation method for such a dynamic environment. The method is especially targeted for a query which is composed based only on users' knowledge and experience without a graphical guidance of the global schema. When a user queries a large number of heterogeneous data, there is a high possibility that the query is not consistent with the same local schema assumed by the user. Our query translation method also supports a function for this problem. Some experimental results for query translation performance have shown that our method has reasonable performance, and is more practical than the existing method.
