XML schema is widely used as an effective tool for organizing and validating XML data. Although W3C released XQuery and XQuery Update Facility as the standard methods for searching and updating XML data, there is no consideration about providing facilities for updating XML schema itself until now. So users can only update an XML schema file directly by using editors. However, the direct update has several problems: It cannot prevent user's illegal update; it is hard to apply to the XML schemas stored in databases, needs much time to analyze schema, and is likely to make syntactic errors. In this paper, we propose an XML schema update facility, which enables creation, deletion and modification of XML schema by using commands.

Recently, several works have been proposed for updating XML documents［l-3] stored in databases. These researches defined update operations and resolved some semantic problems. Because the update operations are usually validated after execution, several conflicts nay occur. For solving these conflicts, XML database systems must be able to validate an update operation immediately according to DTD before the update operation is executed. Furthermore, in many studies for updating, they just validate whole XML documents and can't validate parts of them. If updates are very frequent, validating whole XML documents will cause performance degradation. In this paper, we propose solutions for these two problems. We extract and store DTD information. Then, when an XML document stored in the database is updated, we verifies whether the update is valid or not by using the information. Consequently, XML database systems can always maintain valid XML documents. The validity of update operations is checked immediately before the actual update operation is applied to the database and the validation is performed on only updated parts of an XML document in the database.

Labeling schemes which don't consider about frequent update in dynamic XML documents need relabeling process to reflect the changed label information whenever the tree of XML document is update. There is disadvantage of considerable expenses in the dynamic XML document which can occurs frequent update. To solve this problem, we suggest prime number labeling scheme that doesn't need relabeling process. However the prime number labeling scheme does not consider that it needs to update the sibling order of nodes in the tree of XML document. This update process needs much costs because the most of the tree of XML document has to be researched and rewritten. In this paper, we propose the prime number labeling scheme with sibling order value that can maintain the sibling order without researching or rewriting the tree of XML documents.

XML is widely used in various applications as the standard for representing and exchanging data on the Web. XML Schema is the standard schema for XML and an XML document generated based on the XML Schema is called 'Valid XML document'. The XML Schema validity should be guaranteed after the XML document is updated. In this paper, we design an efficient method that verifies XML Schema validity before update, and so eliminates unnecessary validations. Also, we propose validation algorithms for each update. In addition, we propose the mapping between XML data and XML Schema and a storage method for XML Schema in order to efficiently extract the schema information for the validation. Finally, we compare the performance of the validation according to the storage methods.

XML has the characteristics of self-describing and uses DTD or XML schema in order to constraint its structure. Even though the XML schema is only at the stage of recommendation yet, it will be prevalently used because DTD is not itself XML and has the limitation on the expression power. The structure defined by the XML schema as well as the data of the XML documents can vary due to complex reasons. Those reasons are errors in the XML schema design, new requirements due to new applications, etc. Thus, we propose XML schema evolution operators that are extracted from the analysis of the XML schema updates. These schema evolution operators enable the XML schema updates that would have been impossible without supporting tools if there are a large number of XML documents complying the U schema. In addition, these operators includes the function of automatically finding the update place in the XML documents which are registered to the XSE system, and maintaining the XML documents valid to the XML schema rather than merely well-formed. This paper is the first attempt to update XML schemas of the XML documents and provides the comprehensive set of schema updating operations. Our work is necessary for the XML application development and maintenance in that it helps to update the structure of the XML documents as well as the data in the easy and precise manner.

As XML becomes popular as the way of presenting information on the web, how to secure XML data becomes an important issue. So far study on XML security has focused on security of data communications by using digital sign or encryption technology. But, it now requires not just to communicate secure XML data on communication but also to manage query process to access XML data since XML data becomes more complicated and bigger. We can manage XML data queries by access control technique. Right now current XML data access control only deals with read operation. This approach has no option to process update XML queries. In this paper, we present XML access control model and technique that can support both read and update operations. In this paper, we will propose the operation for XML document update. Also, We will define action type as a new concept to manage authorization information and process update queries. It results in both minimizing access control steps and reducing memory cost. In addition, we can filter queries that have no access rights at the XML data, which it can reduce unnecessary tasks for processing unauthorized query. As a result of the performance evaluation, we show our access control model is proved to be better than other access control model in update query. But it has a little overhead to decide action type in select query.

Recently, a lot of index techniques for storing and querying XML document have been studied so far and many researches of them used coordinate-based methods. But update operation and query processing to express structural relations among elements, attributes and texts make a large burden. In this paper, we propose an efficient BitmapInvert index technique based on Relative Position Coordinate (RPC). RPC has good preformance even if there are frequent update operations because it represents relationship among parent node and left, right sibling nodes. BitmapInvert index supports tort query with bitwise operations and does not casue serious performance degradations on update operations using PostUpdate algerian. Overall, the performance could be improved by reduction of the number of times for traversing nodes.

In this paper, we introduce a structural redundancy method. It reduces the query processing cost incurred when reconfiguring an XML document from divided XML data in shredding XML documents into relations. The fundamental idea is that query performance can be enhanced by analyzing query patterns and replicating data essential for the query performance. For the practical and effective structural redundancy, we analyzed three types of ID, VALUE, and SUBTREE replication. In addition, if given XML data and queries are very large and complex, it can be very difficult to search optimal redundancy set. Therefore, a heuristic search method is introduced in this paper. Finally, XML query processing cost arising by employing the structural redundancy, and the efficiency of proposed search method arc analyzed experimentally It is manifest that XML read query is performed more quick]y but XML update query is performed more slowly due to the additional update consistency cost for replicas. However, experimental results showed that in-place ID replication is useful even in having excessive update cost. It was also observed that multiple-place SUBTREE replication can enhance read query performance remarkably if only update cost is not excessive.

For the mapping of two dimensional table structures of relational databases to the hierarchical XML documents, we apply the foreign key relationships of relational databases. In other words, the primary key of another table referenced by a foreign key of one tuple is mapped to the parent of the foreign key. Then XML hierarchies with order are expressed. In addition, the XML view file generated by the foreign key mappings shows side effects in the case of the relational database update for the satisfaction of referential integrity constraint in the foreign key. Thus, by inferring the foreign key roles at the generation of XML hierarchies, we can anticipate where the side effects occur in the hierarchies. We keep the XML view files up-to-date by reflecting the side effects to the XML files at the update of the underlying relational databases.
