چکیده
This paper presents the METAXPath data model and query language. METAXPath extends XPath with support for XML metadata. XPath is a specification language for locations in an XML document. It serves as the basis for XML query languages like XSLT and the XML Query Algebra. The METAXPath data model is a nested XPath tree. Each level of metadata induces a new level of nesting. The data model separates metadata and data into different dataspaces, supports meta-metadata, and enables sharing of metadata common to a group of nodes without duplication. The METAXPath query language has a level shift operator to shift a query from a data level to a metadata level. METAXPath maximally reuses XPath hence the changes needed to support metadata are few. METAXPath is fully compatible with XPath.

Adaptive Broadcast Protocols to Support E cient and Energy Conserving Retrieval from Databases in Mobile Computing Environments
Mobile computing has the potential for managing information globally. Data management issues in mobile computing have received some attention in recent times, and the design of adaptive broadcast protocols has been posed as an important problem. Such protocols are employed by database servers to decide on the content of broadcasts dynamically, in response to client mobility and demand patterns....

متن کاملLNCS 8421 - Database Systems for Advanced Applications
Ranked search of datasets has emerged as a need as shared scientific archives grow in size and variety. Our own investigations have shown that IRstyle, feature-based relevance scoring can be an effective tool for data discovery in scientific archives. However, maintaining interactive response times as archives scale will be a challenge. We report here on our exploration of performance technique...

متن کاملThe TreeScape System: Reuse of Pre-Computed Aggregates over Irregular OLAP Hierarchies
We present the TreeScape system that, unlike any other system known to the authors, enables the reuse of pre-computed aggregate query results for irregular dimension hierarchies, which occur frequently in practice. The system establishes a foundation for obtaining high query processing performance while pre-computing only limited aggregates. The paper shows how this reuse of aggregates is enabl...
