Querying Along XLinks in XPath/XQuery: Situation, Applications, Perspectives
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper summarizes the situation about using XLink for connecting XML instances. We discuss applications where XLink functionality can be useful, and derive requirements how the basic XLink technology should be supported in these scenarios. We compare several proposals dealing with interlinked XML data with our dbxlink approach which is a minimal extension to XLink and XPath, and we show how its semantics can be added to arbitrary XPath-based query engines.

متن کاملA Logical, Transparent Model for Querying Linked XML Documents
The W3C XML Linking Language (XLink) provides a powerful means for interlinking XML documents all over the world. While the effects when browsing through linked XML documents are well-defined, there is not yet any proposal how to handle interlinked XML documents that make use of the XLink language from the database point of view, i.e., considering the data model and navigation/querying aspects....
