A Layered View Model for Xml Repositories & Xml Data Warehouses

چکیده
The Object-Oriented (OO) conceptual models have the power in describing and modeling real-world data semantics and their inter-relationships in a form that is precise and comprehensible to users. Conversely, XML is fast emerging as the dominant standard for storing, describing and interchanging data among various Enterprises Information Systems (EIS) and databases. With software engineering placing added emphasis on MDA solutions and modeling approaches, it is important to investigate data models for EIS that are abstract enough to be utilized under the MDA paradigm, yet is adoptable in the current data engineering practice. In this paper, we demonstrate a set of language independent conceptual operators for constructing abstract views for XML. The proposed view model has conceptual and logical extensions for supporting abstract views definitions at the conceptual level.

Analysis and design of approximate queries over XML documents using statistical techniques
In the last few years several repositories for storing XML documents and languages for querying XML data have been studied and implemented. All the query languages proposed so far allow to obtain exact answers, but when applied to large XML repositories or warehouses, such precise queries may require high response times. To overcome this problem, in traditional relational warehouses fast approx...

Edutella is an RDF-based E-Learning P2P network that is aimed to accommodate heterogeneous learning resource metadata repositories in a P2P manner and further facilitate the exchange of metadata between these repositories based on RDF. Whereas Edutella provides RDF metadata repositories with a quite natural integration approach, XML metadata repositories have to overcome considerable incompatib...
متن کاملXML Data Warehouse: Modelling and Querying
A large amount of heterogeneous information is now available in enterprises. Some their data sources are repositories of XML data or they are viewed as XML data independently on their inner implementation. In this paper, we study the foundations of XML data warehouses. We adapt the traditional star schema with explicit dimension hierarchies for XML environment. We propose the notion of XML-refe...
متن کاملBenchmarking XML data warehouses
With the emergence of XML as a new standard for representing business data, new decision-support applications (namely, XML data warehouses) are being developed. To ensure their feasibility, the issue of performance must be addressed. Performance in general, and the efficiency of performance optimization techniques in particular, is usually assessed with the help of benchmarks. However, there ar...

Decision-support applications aim at facilitating the decision-making process. They collect data from operational databases and various sources, transform them into information available to decision-makers in a consolidated and consistent manner (Kimball & Ross, 2002). Furthermore, the development of the Web 2.0 and the proliferation of multimedia documents contributed to the analysis of data a...
