Computing paradigm shift to internet-based one has accelerated the use of XML in diverse applications. This phenomena has made the explosive increases of XML data and it triggered many active researches in maintaining very huge amount of XML data in turn. In this paper we present a persistent graph-based XML indexing lot data-centric XML data. In our approach we use 3 graphs to represent XML indexes and XML data itself. They are schema graph, data graph index. And then we have mapped those graphs to B+-trees the persistency. With our approach we can achieve linear query execution time with the increase of XML sizes.

Index structures that are based on sequence matching for XPath processing such as ViST, PRIX and LCS-TRIM have recently been proposed to reduce the search time of XML documents. However, ViST can cause a lot of unnecessary computation and I/O when processing structural joint queries because its numbering scheme is not optimized. PRIX and LCS-TRIM require much processing time for matching XML data trees and queries. In this paper, we propose a novel index structure that solves the problems of ViST and improves the performance of PRIX and LCS-TRIM. Our index structure provides the minimum sequence matching scheme to efficiently process structural queries. Finally, to verify the superiority of the proposed index structure with the minimum sequence matching scheme, we compare our index structure with ViST, PRIX and LCS-TRIM in terms of query processing of a single path or of a branching path including wild-cards ('*' and '//' ).

A B2Bi system needs a message storage subsystem that efficiently logs and searches XML messages which have been sent from orreceived by it. XML database systems and XML enabled relational databases systems are not adequate as a message storage system because of their expensiveness and excessiveness in functionality. Storage schemes that split XML messages into database records are also unacceptable because of either low performance or implementation hardness. In this paper, we propose a storage scheme that can be applied to implement a message storage system based on a relational database system. In this scheme, messages are examined only through the index fields that have been registered for each message types. Therefore, the proposed storage scheme cannot support such a powerful search facility like XQL, but it provides high performance message legging and restricted search facility. There are three alternative database schemas to store the index fields. This paper compares the advantages and disadvantages of the three schemas through experimental tests.

The basic research of context aware in ubiquitous environment is an internet technique and XML. The XML data of continuous stream type are popular in network application through the internet. And also there are researches related to query processing for streaming XML data. As a basic research to efficiently query, we propose not only a labeled ordered tree model representing the XML but also a mining method to extract frequent structures from streaming XML data. That is, XML data to continuously be input are modeled by a stream tree which is called by XFP_tree and we exactly extract the frequent structures from the XFP_tree of current window to mine recent data. The proposed method can be applied to the basis of the query processing and index method for XML stream data.

이 논문에서는 XML 문서에 대한 경로질의를 효과적으로 처리할 수 있는 색인기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 색인 기법은 문서의 변경에 동적으로 대처하며 단순경로 질의뿐 아니라, 경로의 길이가 주어지지 않는 질의에도 효과적으로 동작한다. 이 논문에서는 제안하는 색인기법을 구현하고 실험을 통해서 경로질의를 처리하는 시간을 측정하여 제안하는 방법의 타당성을 보인다.

As XML is widely used, many researches on the XML storage and query processing have been done. But, previous works on path query processing have mainly focused on the storage and retrieval methods for a large XML document or XML documents had a same DTD. Those researches did not efficiently process partial match queries on the differently-structured document set. To resolve the problem, we suggested a new index structure using relational table. The method constructs the $B^+$-tree index using backward label paths instead of forward label paths used in previous researches for storing path information and allows for finding the label paths that match the partial match queries efficiently using it when process the queries.

Existing indexing mechanisms of XML data using numbering scheme have a drawback of rebuilding the entire index structure when insertion, deletion, and update occurs on the data. We propose a new indexing mechanism based on split blocks to cope with this problem. The XML data are split into blocks, where there exists at most a relationship between two blocks, and numbering scheme is applied to each block. This mechanism reduces the overhead of rebuilding index structures when insertion, deletion, and update occurs on the data. We also propose two algorithms, Parent-Child Block Merge Algorithm and Ancestor-Descendent Algorithm which retrieve the relationship between two entities in the XML hierarchy using this indexing mechanism. We also propose a mechanism in which the identifier of a block has the information of its Parents' block to expedite retrieval process of the ancestor-descendent relationship and also propose two algorithms. Parent-Child Block Merge Algorithm and Ancestor-Descendent Algorithm using this indexing mechanism.

As XML is widely used with the development of internet, many researches on the XML storage and query processing have been done Several index techniques have been proposed to efficiently process XML path queries. Recently, structural join has received murk attention as a method to protest the path query. Structural join technique process a path query by identifying the containment relationship of elements. Especially, it has an advantage that we can get the result set by simply comparing related elements only instead of scanning whole document. However during the comparison process, unnecessary elements that are not included in the result set can be scanned. So we propose a new technique, the level structural join. In this technique, we use both the relationship and the level distribution of elements in the path query. Using this technique, we tao improve the performance of query processing only by comparing elements with specific level in the target inverted level.

XML은 메타언어로써 구조적인 문서를 생성할 수있게 하며 이러한 구조적인 문서는 내용 기반검색,질의등의 처리가 가능하다는 것이다. XML문서의 논리적 구조를 표현하는 방법은 사용자 정의 문서타입(DTD)과 XML Schema 의 두가지 방식이 있으며, XML Schema 는 사용자 정의문서타입(DTD)에 비해 다양한 데이터 타입, namespace, Open-ended 데이터 모델등을 지원하여 문서의 구조 정의를 훨씬 더 유연하고 명시적이게 하게 하는 장점이있다. 본 논문에서는 XML 문서 검색을 위해 XML Schemadp 기반하여 내용 검색과 구조 검색을 효율적으로 지원하는 인덱스 구조를 제안한다. 요소들의 정의에 따르면 계층관계를 표현하기위한 구조정보와 XML 문서 인스턴스에서 나타나는 각 요소들의 순서정보를 요소의 ID로 사용함으로써 임의의 요소를 효율적으로 접근할 수 있게 한다.

Due to an increasing volume of XML data, it is considered prudent to store XML data on an industry-strength database system instead of relying on a domain specific application or a file system. For shredded XML data stored in relational tables, however, it may not be straightforward to apply existing algorithms for twig query processing, since most of the algorithms require XML data to be accessed in a form of streams of elements grouped by their tags and sorted in a particular order. In order to support XML query processing within the common framework of relational database systems, we first propose several bitmap indexes and their strategies for supporting holistic twig joining on XML data stored in relational tables. Since bitmap indexes are well supported in most of the commercial and open-source database systems, the proposed bitmapped indexes and twig query processing strategies can be incorporated into relational query processing framework with more ease. The proposed query processing strategies are efficient in terms of both time and space, because the compressed bitmap indexes stay compressed during data access. In addition, we propose a hybrid index which computes twig query solutions with only bit-vectors, without accessing labeled XML elements stored in the relational tables.
