We study XML stream-specific schema-based optimization. We assume a widely-adopted automata-based execution model for XQuery evaluation. Criteria are established regarding what s...
Abstract. We present in this paper a new model for representing probabilistic information in a semi-structured (XML) database, based on the use of probabilistic event variables. Th...
In order to find all occurrences of a tree/twig pattern in an XML database, a number of holistic twig join algorithms have been proposed. However, most of these algorithms focus o...
Many existing access controls use node filtering or querying rewriting techniques. These techniques require rather time-consuming processes such as parsing, labeling, pruning and/...
Physical structures, for example indexes and materialized views, can improve query execution performance by orders of magnitude. Hence, it is important to choose the right configu...
