Several native approaches to storing large XML data sets exist. In all of these approaches the internal data representation is designed to support any ad-hoc XQuery query. In this...
We tackle the difficult problem of summarizing the path/branching structure and value content of an XML database that comprises both numeric and textual values. We introduce a nov...
A key observation is that the invariants in database management determine the mapping steps of the supporting architecture. Referring to the multi-layered architecture of record-or...
Interest in XML databases has been growing over the last few years. In this paper, we study the problem of incorporating probabilistic information into XML databases. We propose th...
Implementations that load XML documents and give access to them via, e.g., the DOM, suffer from huge memory demands: the space needed to load an XML document is usually many times...
