MA-Thesis / Master, die am 29.08.2002 erfolgreich an einer Universität in Großbritannien eingereicht wurde. Abstract: The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is receiving a great deal of attention from computing and Internet communities. This is mainly because of its ability to reduce obstacles in sharing data among diverse applications and databases by providing a common format for expressing data structure and content. The scope of this project is to investigate the current stage of XML and its usage for database systems. In order to understand the XML database technology a general introduction to both database systems and XML is provided to the reader in chapter two and three. Chapter four and five deal with the methodology and findings of this project. These chapters rely on articles, case studies and surveys which are examined and evaluated. Finally, a conclusion and review chapter is included. The analysis of the current adoption of XML among software developers revealed that in Spring 2001 more than one third of international developers already used XML. In 2001 they spent about 5.4% of their development time using XML. For 2002 it is predicted that they will spend an average of 9% of their development time using XML. Concerning XML databases there are currently two major XML related database types available. These are native XML and XML enabled relational databases. Native XML databases are constructed to use the recommended XML standards to the most possible extent. Thereby, the XML document is the fundamental unit of storage. XML enabled relational databases are relational databases equipped with an additional layer to map XML content in to the relational tables. XML documents are only used as a means of transport between the database systems. Native XML databases are better suited for dealing with document structured content whilst XML enabled relational databases are more appropriate to handle data structured content such as numbers and piece…

Description:
A novel index structure based on the generalized suffix tree (PIGST) is proposed. Combined with post lists, PIGST can answer both structural and content queries. The distinct paths in an XML collection are mapped into strings. The construction algorithm of the PIGST for the path strings is presented based on the modification and improvement of a well-known suffix tree construction algorithm that only requires linear time and space complexity. The query process merely needs m character comparisons for direct containment queries, where m is the length of a query string. An efficient processing method for the indirect containment queries that avoids the inefficient tree traversal operation is also presented. Experiments show that PIGST outperforms earlier approaches.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 7th International Workshop of the Initiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval, INEX 2008, held at Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in December 2008.

The aim of the INEX 2008 workshop was to bring together researchers who participated in the INEX 2008 campaign. Over the year leading up to the event, participating organizations contributed to the building of a large-scale XML test collection by creating topics, performing retrieval runs, and providing relevance assessments. The workshop concluded the results of this large-scale effort, summarized and addressed the issues encountered, and devised a work plan for the future evaluation of XML retrieval systems. The 49 papers included in this volume report the final results of INEX 2008. They have been divided into sections according to the seven tracks of the workshop, investigating various aspects of XML retrieval, from book search to entity ranking, including interaction aspects.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a design language that permits the user to develop a customized markup language for a unique document, whether it is text or data. As the use of XML becomes more widespread, a comprehensive guide to its features is needed. George Doss provides such a reference with Learn XML Tips. This book uses the frequently asked questions (FAQ) format to provide concise answers about a range of subjects, including designing an XML DTD, dialects, processing, and the implications of using XML with Internet Explorer 5.0.

The appendices include a glossary, the XML production rules, and the differences between XML and SGML, and XML and HTML.

The companion CD contains a 10-use trial version of Extensibility Inc.’s Turbo XML, which includes XML Authority, XML Instance, and XML Console.

Diplomarbeit, die am 02.01.2001 erfolgreich an einer Fachhochschule in Deutschland im Fachbereich Betriebswirtschaft eingereicht wurde. Problemstellung: Steigender Wettbewerb, verstärkter Kostendruck, neue Vetriebswege und erweiterte Möglichkeiten durch Technologien wie das Internet haben in den letzten Jahren für enorme Veränderungen im Bereich der Printproduktion gesorgt. Die Unternehmen sehen sich ständig neuen Situationen und Herausforderungen gegenübergestellt, die sie möglichst schnell und effektiv bewältigen müssen. Verlagshäuser suchen deshalb nach neuen Wegen, ihre Produkte immer günstiger und schneller herzustellen und dabei ihre Daten für verschiedene Ausgabemedien (z.B. Buch, Internet oder CD-ROM) wiederverwertbar zu machen. Zwei häufig in diesem Zusammenhang genannte Schlagworte sind XML (eXtensible Markup Language) und Database Publishing. Mit der Kombination dieser beiden Techniken erhoffen sich viele eine Revolution im Verlags- und Druckwesen. Gang der Untersuchung: Ziel der Arbeit ist es, Ansprüche, Bedingungen und Voraussetzungen, die das Database Publishing in Bezug auf den Einsatz von XML verlangt, objektiv aufzuzeigen und im Gegensatz dazu eine realistische Beurteilung abzugeben, inwieweit dies in der Praxis umsetzbar ist. Um ein Grundverständnis für das Thema zu erhalten, erfolgt in Kapitel 2 zunächst eine allgemeine Einführung in die Thematik der Auszeichnungssprachen, der zugrundeliegenden Konzepte sowie des Basiswissens zu XML. Anschließend wird in Kapitel 3 ein Überblick über das Database Publishing und dessen Konzepte gegeben. Danach werden in Kapitel 4 die Anforderungen des Database Publishing festgelegt. Kapitel 5 stellt die Verbindung zwischen XML und DBP her. Die Möglichkeiten und noch bestehenden Grenzen von XML im DBP werden aufgezeigt. Den Schluss bildet Kapitel 6 mit einer Aufstellung aktueller Softwarelösungen auf dem Markt. Inhaltsverzeichnis: |ABBILDUNGSVERZEICHNIS|IV 1.|Einführung|1 1.1|Ausgangssituation und.

Product Description
The most important new features of SQL Server 2000 concern XML and the added functionality that it provides. This includes the ability to use XML documents to update your database, access SQL Server through HTTP and retrieve data from your database in XML format.

Building extensively on the new features introduced in Professional SQL Server 2000 (1-861004-48-6) this book goes beyond just the key issues and provides blanket in-depth coverage of advanced topics, including both XDR and XSD schemas (support for which has been added in the new Web Release 2), and additions in Web Release 1, such as Updategrams and XML Bulk Load. This book also includes five real-world case studies that show exactly how the XML capabilities of SQL Server 2000 can best be exploited with technologies as diverse as ASP, C#, and SOAP.

This book covers:
An introduction to XML
How to retrieve XML data from your database using FOR XML
Exposing XML documents as relational resultsets using OPENXML
Using XDR and XSD schemas to retrieve results through HTTP requests
Describing SQL Server tables using XML Views
A detailed discussion of the use of XPath queries with SQL Server
Modifying your database with Updategrams
Importing XML documents into your database with XML Bulk Load
An overview of the new features provided with Beta 1 of Web Release 2
Amazon.com Review
Key to the interoperability of Microsoft SQL Server 2000–its ability to exchange information with other database management systems and with client applications–is its support of Extensible Markup Language (XML). Regardless of whether you’re a database administrator charged with designing and maintaining databases or a software developer who uses SQL Server at the back end of a multitiered application, you need to understand what XML is all about, and how SQL Server goes about reading and writing it. Professional SQL Server 2000 XML uses an approach typical of Wrox Press–liberal commentary interspersed with plenty of examples that build on one another–to help its readers learn about its subject.

This book was written by a team of authors, each of whom wrote a few chapters in his or her specialty area. Like any book written by several people, this one displays different writing styles throughout, but the effect is not striking if you use the book mainly as a reference. Each author typically takes on the capabilities of SQL Server and XML one at a time, explaining what each is all about before launching into examples (complete with code) that reveal the mechanisms at work. It’s a lot of information to absorb, but the authors do a fine job of presenting it logically. Case studies present big projects that each employ several of SQL Server’s XML capabilities. –David Wall

Topics covered: The XML capabilities of Microsoft SQL Server 2000, including the FOR XML clauses in Transact-SQL, the OpenXML specification, XDR and XSD schemas, templates, views, and updategrams.
