In this paper we present a novel approach for estimating the selectivity of XML twig queries. Such a technique is useful for approximate query answering as well as for determining...
Twig queries represent the building blocks of declarative query languages over XML data. A twig query describes a complex traversal of the document graph and generates a set of el...

Abstract. We consider the problem of accurately estimating the number of approximate XML answers for a given query, and propose an efficient method that (1) accurately computes sel...
Estimating the selectivity of queries is a crucial problem in database systems. Virtually all database systems rely on the use of selectivity estimates to choose amongst the many ...
Streaming XML documents has many emerging applications. However, in this paper, we show that the restrictions imposed by data streaming are too restrictive for processing twig quer...
