We study the problem of answering queries posed on virtual views of XML documents, a problem commonly encountered when enforcing XML access control and integrating data. We approa...
The basic relationships to be determined in XML query processing are ancestor-descendant (A-D), parent-child (P-C), sibling and ordering relationships. The containment labeling sc...
The complexity of the isomorphism problem for regular trees, regular linear orders, and regular words is analyzed. A tree is regular if it is isomorphic to the prefix order on a r...
The recent proliferation of XML-based standards and technologies for managing data on the Web demonstrates the need for effective and efficient management of treestructured data....
Parallelism constraints are logical descriptions of trees. Parallelism constraints subsume dominance constraints and are equal in expressive power to context unification. Paralleli...
