XML instances for purpose of information exchange are normally stored in the legacy relational database. Therefore, integrations with relational database are required for effective XML applications. To support these requirements, virtual decomposition storage or decomposition storage methods which save separates structures of instances to relational database have researched. However, these storage methods contain different information of schema structure and layers which has caused difficulties to process query during search operation as well as increased overheads due to duplicate savings for separate storages. Therefore, in this research, additional field of 'Eltype' has introduced to previous database schema structure to instance and schema structure, provide consistent level information and propose storage structure to map each field to schema field of relational database. As results, XML instance and structures can be stored together to minimize overheads and required storage-space. Also, synchronized storage layer structure provides easier processing of search query.

In wireless and mobile environments, data broadcasting is recognized as an effective way for data dissemination due to its benefits to bandwidth efficiency, energy-efficiency, and scalability. In this paper, we address the problem of delayed query processing raised by tree-based index structures in wireless broadcast environments, which increases the access time of the mobile clients. We propose a novel distributed index structure and a clustering strategy for streaming XML data which enable energy and latency-efficient broadcast of XML data. We first define the DIX node structure to implement a fully distributed index structure which contains tag name, attributes, and text content of an element as well as its corresponding indices. By exploiting the index information in the DIX node stream, a mobile client can access the wireless stream in a shorter latency. We also suggest a method of clustering DIX nodes in the stream, which can further enhance the performance of query processing over the stream in the mobile clients. Through extensive performance experiments, we demonstrate that our approach is effective for wireless broadcasting of XML data and outperforms the previous methods.

Access control that has been previously performed mainly on safety, and thus not much effort has been done to consider access control in terms of efficiency. This paper proposes a method for an efficient and secure query processing of XML data streams, such as a personal digital assistant and a portable terminal, at the client side with limited resources. Specifically, this paper proposes an access control processing that possesses a small overhead for attaining a secure result with limited memory and a method to enhance the performance, finding the parts capable of optimizing each processing step for offsetting the overhead caused by the addition of access control processing. The superiority of the new method is analyzed through an experiments.

데이터베이스에 저장된 수많은 자료들을 사용자의 질의에 맞추어 웹상에서 표현해주는 것이 바로 리포팅 툴의 역할이다. 그에 관한 연구들로 BBQ(Blended Browsing and Querying), EASY BASE, QURSED(Querying and Reporting Semistructured Data)와 같은 여러 리포팅 툴들이 상용화되어 있다. 하지만 사용자가 보다 쉽고 직관적으로 XML 문서를 작성하고 관리할 수 있는 툴들은 미흡한 것이 사실이다. 이 논문에서는 XML과 XSL문서를 각각 그룹핑하고 직관적인 구조로 표현 해주며 사용자의 관점에 맞추어 XQuery를 지원하는 시스템을 설계 구현하였다.

인터넷에서 XML은 새로운 정보 환경의 요구사항인 확장성과 문서 관계성의 우수성을 만족하는 표준이다. 이러한 XML 문서 안의 정보 검색을 위해서 XPath 질의어가 널리 사용 중이다. 또한, XML 문서의 체계적인 운용을 위해 데이터베이스에 효율적으로 저장하고 검색하는 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분할 저장 시스템에서 RDBMS 또는 ORDBMS에 XML 문서를 저장하고 검색할 수 있도록 하는 XPath 질의 처리기를 SQL:1999를 이용하여 설계함으로써 좀더 정확하고 빠르게 처리가 가능하도록 하였다.

XML이 확산되면서 이를 저장하고 검색하는 XML DB와 검색 앤진들이 만들어졌다. 그러나, 이들 대부분의 시스템에서 초기 질의만으로 문서를 검색하고, 그 대상도 질의 조건에 완전히 정합되는 문서로만 제한하고 있다. 그러나, 사용자가 데이터에 대한 정확한 정보가 없는 경우에는 자신의 요구를 제대로 표현하기가 힘들고 또, 한번의 질의로 사용자 요구에 정확하게 부합되는 문서를 검색하기도 매우 어렵다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 질의 조건에 부분적으로 정합되는 문서도 검색하고, 사용자 피드백을 받아서 조기 질의를 사용자 요구에 좀 더 근접만 문서들을 검색할 수 있도록 수정하여 재질의를 하는 시스템을 설계하였다.

XML은 문서의 구조를 독립적으로 작성할 수 있어 문서의 체계적인 구조화가 가능하다. 이러한 이유로 최근, XML 문서를 구조화하여 데이터베이스에 저장, 관리하는 XML 문서 관리 시스템 연구가 활발하다. XML 문서 관리 시스템은 XML의 구조 정보를 효과적으로 표현하기 위해 여러 가지 기법을 사용하고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 방법들은 XML 문서 구성에 따라 저장 스키마가 유동적이거나 문서 정보 검색의 제약을 가지고 있을 뿐만 아니라, DTD의 문서 구조가 순환 관계와 같이 복잡한 형태를 지닐 때, 그 구조를 적절히 반영하지 못하거나, 구조를 반영하더라도 검색 시, 모든 요소를 순차적으로 탐색해야 하는 등의 문제점을 지니고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 XML의 내용이나 구성에 영향받지 않는 저장 스키마를 설계하고 정보검색의 제약을 해결가능한 경로 정보를 제안한다. 또한 순환 관계를 갖는 DTD의 구조 정보를 비 순환 구조 부분과 순환 구조 부분으로 분리, 정의하고 질의처리 시, 입력되는 XML-QL을 SQL로 변환하기 위하여 XML-QL의 패턴을 분류하고 이에 따른 중간 단계의 SQL을 정의하여 질의어 변환기법을 제안한다.

In this paper, we design and implement a XML management system based on OODBMS that supports structured information retrieval of XML documents. We also propose an object oriented modeling to store and fetch XML documents, to manage image data, and to support versioning for the XML document management system(XMS). The XMS consists of a repository manager that maintains the interfaces for external application programs, a XML instance storage manager that stores XML documents in the database, a XML instance manager that fetches XML documents stored in the database, a XML index manager that creates index for the structure information and the contents of documents, and a query processor that processes various queries.

UDDI (Universal Discovery Description and Integration) Registry is used for Web Services registration and search. UDDI offers the search result to the keyword-based query. UDDI supports WSDL registration but it does not supports WSDL search. So it is required that contents based search and ranking using name and description in UDDI registration information and WSDL. This paper proposes a retrieval engine considering contents of services registered in the UDDI and WSDL. It uses Vector Space Model for similarity comparison between contents of those. UDDI registry information hierarchy and WSDL hierarchy are considered during searching process. This engine suppports two discovery methods. One is Keyword-based search and the other is template-based search supporting ranking for user's query. Template-based search offers how service interfaces correspond to the query for WSDL documents. Proposed retrieval engine can offer search result more accurately than one which UDDI offers and it can retrieve WSDL which is registered in UDDI in detail.

We suggest a distributed communication and management methodology using PC to PC Query multicasting strategy for efficient management of medical images produced by DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) Modalities. It is absolutely necessary to reduce strict degradation of PACS system due to large sire of medical images and their very high transport rates. DICOM PC to PC Component is composed of a Service Manager to execute requested queries, a Communication Manager to take charge of file transmission, and a DICOM Manager to manage stored data and system behavior Each Manager itself is a component to search for requested file by interaction or to transmit the file to other PCs. Distributed management and transformation of medical information based on PC to PC Query multicasting methodology will enhance performance of central server and network capacity, reducing overload on both. We organize three major components for system operation. Each component is implemented as Agent. Communication between agents uses XML encoded Agent Communication Language.
