We present a system for efficient indexed querying of XML documents, enhanced with sibling operations. R-tree index proposed in [5] has a very high cost for the following-sibling...
Efficient querying XML documents is an increasingly important issue considering the fact that XML becomes the de facto standard for data representation and exchange over the Web,...
In this paper, we describe the design and initial implementation of a geographic search engine prototype for Germany, based on a large crawl of the de domain. Geographic search en...

Querying document-centric XML collections with structure conditions improves retrieval precisions. The structures of such XML collections, however, are often too complex for users...
Data fragmentation offers various attractive alternatives to organizing and managing data, and presents interesting characteristics that may be exploited for efficient processing...
Nonrecursive XQuery is known to be hard for nondeterministic exponential time. Thus it is commonly believed that any algorithm for evaluating XQuery has to require exponential amo...
As a simple XML query language but with enough expressive power, XPath has become very popular. To expedite evaluation of XPath queries, we consider the problem of caching results...
