A Hybrid XML-Relational Grid Metadata Catalog

The ability to manage metadata is a critical requirement of the grid, but scientists have not been given the tools needed to catalog experimental data based complex metadata attributes. Our research has shown that the specific characteristics of metadata catalogs require a different approach than that used for general queries over XML data. This paper presents a hybrid approach to storing XML in a relational database that exploits the specific characteristics of a metadata catalog.
