Query performance issues over semi-structured data have led to the emergence of materialised XML views as a means of restricting the data structure processed by a query. However p...
This paper presents WordRank, a new page ranking system, which exploits similarity between interconnected pages. WordRank introduces the model of the ‘biased surfer’ which is ...
The XQuery language is the standard query language for XML. The result of XQuery queries are typically XML documents in other formats. We introduce the term output schemas of an X...
In this paper we report ongoing work in the development of diagram interpretation and assessment applied to entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs). We report on our development of an...
Order is essential for XML query processing. Efficient XML processing with order consideration over relational storage is non-trivial, especially for complex nested XQuery expressi...
Traditionally, database management systems (DBMSs) have been associated with high-cost, high-quality functionalities. That is, powerful capabilities are provided, but only in respo...
We present a novel framework for indexing and searching schema-less XML documents based on concise summaries of their structural and textual content. Our search query language is X...
Abstract. Information Extraction, the process of eliciting data from natural language documents, usually relies on the ability to parse the document and then to detect the meaning ...
: We present a new approach for accelerating the execution of XPath expressions using parameterized materialized XPath views (PXV). While the approach is generic we show how it can...
