Data on the Web: From Relations to Semistructured Data and XML
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since Ancient Days, human beings have exchanged money for goods, or even some goods for other kind of goods. The goods that were exchanged characterized the different ages through History. Today, we are in the so-called Information Age and, therefore, a core part of current interactions take place around data exchanges. Serge Abiteboul et al.’s “Data on the Web” aims at laying the foundations for data exchange in those applications which deal with semistructured data.

Semistructured Data Store Mapping with XML and Its Reconstruction
XML has been quickly emerging as a dominant standard for data representation and exchange on the World Wide Web for its many good features such as well-formed structure or semantic support. Research on semistructured data over the last several years has focused on data models, query languages, and systems where the database is modeled in some form of a labeled, directed graph. Processing this a...
متن کاملXML Structures for Relational Data
XML is increasingly being adopted for information publishing on the World Wide Web. However, the underlying data is often stored in the relational databases. Some mechanism is needed to convert the relational data into XML data. In this work, we employ a semantically rich semistructured data model, the Object-RelationshipAttribute model for semistructured data, as a middleware to support the sc...
متن کاملMiro Web: Integrating Multiple Data Sources through Semistructured Data Types
The MIROWeb Esprit project has developed a unique technology to integrate multiple data sources through an object-relational model with semistructured data types. It addresses the problem of integrating irregular Web sources and regular relational databases through a mediated architecture based on a hybrid model, supporting relational, object and semistructured features. The project data exchan...
متن کاملExtracting indexing information from XML DTDs
Recently, XML has become an emerging standard for information exchange on the World Wide Web. It has gained attention in database communities to extract information from XML seen as a database model. That is, as XML is self-describing, we can issue many kinds of queries against XML documents in heterogeneous sources and get the necessary information. As data in XML is an instance of a semistruc...
متن کاملData Extraction using Content-Based Handles
In this paper, we present an approach and a visual tool, called HWrap (Handle Based Wrapper), for creating web wrappers to extract data records from web pages. In our approach, we mainly rely on the visible page content to identify data regions on a web page. In our extraction algorithm, we inspired by the way a human user scans the page content for specific data. In particular, we use text fea...
