Abstract

Purpose – In a wide spectrum of applications, it is desirable to manipulate semistructured information that may present variations according to different circumstances. Multidimensional XML (MXML) is an extension of XML suitable for representing data that assume different facets, having different value and/or structure under different contexts. The purpose of this paper is to develop techniques for updating MXML documents.Design/methodology/approach – Updating XML has been studied in the past, however, updating MXML must take into account the additional features, which stem from incorporating context into MXML. This paper investigates the problem of updating MXML in two levels: at the graph level, i.e. in an implementation independent way; and at the relational storage level.Findings – The paper introduces six basic update operations, which are capable of any possible change. Those operations are specified in an implementation independent way, and their effect explained through examples. Algorithms are gi...

更新多维XML文档

用途-在广泛的应用中，需要根据不同的情况处理可能呈现变化的半结构化信息。多维XML (MXML)是XML的一种扩展，适合表示在不同上下文中具有不同值和/或结构的不同方面的数据。本文的目的是开发更新MXML文档的技术。设计/方法论/方法——过去已经研究过更新XML，但是，更新MXML必须考虑到附加的特性，这些特性源于将上下文合并到MXML中。本文从两个层面研究了MXML的更新问题:在图层，即以独立于实现的方式;在关系存储级别。发现-本文介绍了六种基本的更新操作，这些操作能够进行任何可能的更改。这些操作以独立于实现的方式指定，并通过示例解释其效果。算法是gi…

期刊介绍： The Global Information Infrastructure is a daily reality. In spite of the many applications in all domains of our societies: e-business, e-commerce, e-learning, e-science, and e-government, for instance, and in spite of the tremendous advances by engineers and scientists, the seamless development of Web information systems and services remains a major challenge. The journal examines how current shared vision for the future is one of semantically-rich information and service oriented architecture for global information systems. This vision is at the convergence of progress in technologies such as XML, Web services, RDF, OWL, of multimedia, multimodal, and multilingual information retrieval, and of distributed, mobile and ubiquitous computing. Topicality While the International Journal of Web Information Systems covers a broad range of topics, the journal welcomes papers that provide a perspective on all aspects of Web information systems: Web semantics and Web dynamics, Web mining and searching, Web databases and Web data integration, Web-based commerce and e-business, Web collaboration and distributed computing, Internet computing and networks, performance of Web applications, and Web multimedia services and Web-based education.
