Visually Exploring and Querying XML with BaseX
نویسندگان
چکیده
XML documents are widely used as a generic container for textual contents. As they are increasingly growing in size, XML databases are emerging to efficiently store and query their contents. Besides, due to the hierarchic structure of XML documents, hierarchic visualizations are needed to facilitiate cognitive access to query results. BaseX is a simple database prototype, mapping XML documents to a table based tree encoding. An integrated treemap visualization and a query interface allow visual access to the documents and demonstrate the efficiency of the underlying data storage.

متن کاملUsing Map and Reduce for Querying Distributed XML Data
Semi-structured information is often represented in the XML format. Although, a vast amount of appropriate databases exist that are responsible for efficiently storing semistructured data, the vastly growing data demands larger sized databases. Even when the secondary storage is able to store the large amount of data, the execution time of complex queries increases significantly, if no suitable...

BaseX is an early adopter of the upcoming XQuery Full Text Recommendation. This extended abstract describes the challenges of joining the INEX Efficiency Track using BaseX, an XML database system. We will describe some of the problems we encountered during the application of XQuery Full Text to the INEX topic set and discuss the remaining comparability problem.
متن کاملStoring and querying large XML instances
After its introduction in 1998, XML has quickly emerged as the de facto exchange format for textual data. Only ten years later, the amount of information that is being processed day by day, locally and globally, has virtually exploded, and no end is in sight. Correspondingly, many XML documents and collections have become much too large for being retrieved in their raw form – and this is where ...
