Information Retrieval in Digital Libraries Using XML Mediation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital libraries are more and more available on the web. However, retrieving information in these libraries is not easy because of sources heterogeneity and distribution. Thus, we propose the use of virtual integration with mediator-wrapper architecture. This architecture allows access to relational sources, XML documents and text files. The mediator schema is based on XML and Xquery as query language.

متن کاملINEX: Initiative for the Evaluation of XML Retrieval
The widespread use of XML prompted the development of appropriate searching and browsing methods for XML documents. This explosion of XML retrieval tools requires the development of appropriate testbeds and evaluation methods. As part of a large-scale effort to improve the efficiency of research in information retrieval and digital libraries, the INEX initiative organises an international, coor...
متن کاملIndexing Methods for XML Documents
There has been much research about XML storage and information retrieval. Traditionally XML documents are mapped onto relational databases. Then the data can be queried by relational queries. Nowadays many digital libraries store XML documents in a native XML database. Native means that the documents are stored and retrieved in their original format. An important task of such a database is inde...
متن کاملElement Retrieval in Digital Libraries: Reality Check
Although research on XML element retrieval is steadily gaining popularity, it is not clear if and in what form element retrieval can be useful in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we compare the XML element retrieval models used in the INEX workshop with the search interfaces of two online digital library services. We demonstrate that element retrieval is indeed useful for digital libraries ...
متن کاملA Semantic Structure to Improve Information Retrieval Using XML
Nowadays the information stored in the digital libraries is not completely described, so this information is not really used. The description of information by using metadata seems a good solution to permit the users to find pertinent information. Our proposal is based on the creation and the insertion of new metadata within the document as «semantic tags». These metadata can describe, in our c...
