Efficient XML query processing in mediators

Abstract

With the advent of XML as the standard for data representation and exchange over Internet, there are ever increasing applications, E-Commerce application in particular, using XML as a mediator model. It raises the issue on how to evaluate XML queries efficiently in mediator systems.In this article, we address the problem of multiple query optimization in a XML based mediator. Because the XML query language difers from SQL/OQL in its pattern matching and regular path expression constructs, the way of identifying common subexpressions of multiple XML queries is different accordingly. We present the steps to identify common subexpressions. To obtain the global query plan, we propose some heuristics to reduce the whole search space. By using statistic method to estimate the usage frequency of the common subexpressions in XML queries,a selective caching and materializing of remote data can be accurately made, this will greately improve query response time.

Ontology of Aircraft Carrier Geographic Information

“…Recently, ontology was emerging as a new hotspot of research in computer science [1]. Contents of those researches involved all aspects of ontology, including the theory concept; application of information system; semantic Web etc [2]. Many domestic scholars have done research about geographic information ontology.…”

XML based Mediated Query Re-writing Framework

“…The foundation lies on the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) data management model. The contributions to this research are: (i) providing a conceptual frame work for Information Integration System based on XML query language (ii) formulation of rewriting algorithm for XML query (iii) implementation of the proposed algorithm [17,22,23,27,28].…”
