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 most organizations, the relational DBMS was used for store and manage XML documents due to the pre-established relational DBMS. But, relational DBMS has some problems. They has the possibilities of informational loses in the process of mapping the structure of XML documents to RDB, and they require expensive cost to reflect all XML properties. Thus, this paper was intended to design and implement XML document management system which utilize O2 DBMS-object oriented DBMS in order to overcome the existing problem and reflect all XML Properties. The XML document management system purposed in this thesis has multiple function, such as the library service function for XML documents-check-in/check-out, versioning, user access management-, dynamic indexing and retrieval, and publishing function using style sheet.

Recently, XML(extensible Markup Language) Document is widely accepted as the standard for electronic documents in the electronic commerce. Therefore, a security mechanism for XML documents must be provided In the first place. ESES(ETRI Secure I-commerce Services) provides a system designed specifically for securing XML documents and existing non-XML documents that are exchanged in the Electronic Commerce and is essential to various electronic commerce platform as a fundamental system. In this paper, we provide an overview of these aspects of the ESES and design and implemented the secure I-Commerce Platform to support security services such as authentication, integrity and confidentiality for Electronic Document Interchange.

There has been an increasing interest in n since it is spotlighted as the standard for data representation and exchange in the Web. The structural information for XML documents serves several important purposes. In spite of its importance, the schema is not mandatory for XML documents. Thus, much research to extract structural information for XML document has been conducted. In this paper, we present a technique for efficient extraction of concise and accurate DTD for XML documents. By restriction of DTD content model using the mixed content model of DTD and XML Schema as well as applying some heuristic rules proposed in this paper, we achieve the efficiency and conciseness. The result of an experiment with real life DTDs shows that our approach is superior to existing approaches.

As XML is recognized as a prevalent standard for document representation and exchange in the Internet, the need for security of XML becomes very important issue. Until now researches on XML security have been focused on confidentiality or integrity like encryption and digital signature technology. But, as XML data becomes more massive and complicated, it requires managerial security that decided access permit or deny by the authority oi user who is using the XML data. Thus it requires models and mechanisms enabling the specification and enforcement of access control policies for XML documents. In this paper, we suggest the new access control model and mechanism that separate XML documents by access level, assign roles to each user by applying Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and perform access control to specific documents by encrypting each section with roles. The method, we suggested, has an advantage that it does not need to update the whole keys used in encryption process by updating only the relations between appropriate secure layers.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is an Internet standard that is used to express and convert data, In order to find the necessary information out of XML documents, you need a search system for XML documents, In this research, we have developed a search system that can find documents that matches the structure and content of a given XML document, making the best use of XML structure, Search metrics take account of the similarity in tag names, tag values, and the structure of tags, After a search, the system displays the ranked results in the order of aggregate similarity, Three methods of query are provided: keyword search which is conventional; search with tag names and their values; and search with XML documents, These three methods enable users to choose the method that best suits their preference, resulting in the increase of the usefulness of the system.

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.

Extensible Markup Language(XML) is fast emerging as the dominant standard for representing data in the World Wide Web. Sophisticated query engines that allow users to effectively tap the data stored in XML documents will be crucial to exploiting the full power of XML. While there has been a great deal of activity recently proposing new semi-structured data models and query languages for this purpose, this paper explores the more conservative approach of using traditional relational database engines for processing XML documents conforming to Document Type Descriptors(DTDs). In this paper, we describe how to generate relational schemas from XML DTDs. The main issues that must be addressed inc]ode (a) dealing with the complexity of DTD element specifications (b) resolving the conflict between the two-level nature of relational schemas (table and attribute) vs. the arbitrary nesting of XML DTD schemas and (c) dealing with set-valued attributes and recursion. We now propose a set of transformations that can be used to "simplify" any arbitrary DTD without undermining the effectiveness of queries over documents conforming to that DTD.

We propose an XML document storage system, called XDMS (XML Document Management System), by using an object-relational DBMS. XDMS generates object database schema from XML Schema and stores the XML documents in an object-relational database. SAX parser is used for understanding the structure of the XML documents, and XDMS transforms the documents into objects in the database. Experiment shows that object-relational databases provide more efficient storage and query model compared with relational databases.
