一种DTDs完全一致性判断算法

一个语法上完全正确的DTD可能是不一致的,即不存在任何“有效的”XML文档遵循这个DTD·不一致的DTDs应当尽可能避免·现已提出的无完整性约束的DTDs一致性判断方法,考虑的都是如何判断整个DTDs是否存在有效的XML文档相对应,忽略了对DTDs结构中不合理的子结构的一致性判断,因此一致性成立的DTDs中仍有可能存在子结构没有相对应的有效XML数据·为解决这一问题,提出了DTDs完全一致性的概念,分析了能够导致DTDs不完全一致性的各种因素,并给出了线性时间复杂性的DTDs完全一致性判断算法·     

一种DTD一致性的判定方法

DTD作为一种XML文档结构的模式语言得到了广泛的使用,它描述了相似的XML文档的结构。DTD的一致性是指对于一个给定的DTD,判断是否存在至少有一个XML文档满足DTD。在引入DTD一致性的形式化定义的基础上,分析了引起DTD不一致性的各种因素,提出了DTD一致性的判定方法。     

一种新的DTDs完全一致性判断方法

DTDs(或XML Schema)的一致性是XML研究中的一个重要课题.一个DTD是一致的当且仅当存在有效的XML文档遵循这个DTD.然而一个一致性成立的DTD仍有可能存在一致性不成立的不合理子结构,同一致性不成立的DTDs一样,DTDs中一致性不成立的子结构同样应该尽量避免.为解决这一问题,对"元素在DTD中的一致性"、"DTDs完全一致性"等概念进行了定义和分析,并给出了一种新的DTDs完全一致性判断算法,该算法的最坏时间复杂度是O(n),具有较高的效率.     

存在多值依赖的XML DTD规范化研究

XML DTD文档中可能包含由非函数依赖引起的数据冗余和操作异常,首先从消除DTD文档内数据冗余的角度出发研究了文档的规范化的问题,讨论了在DTD文档中存在多值依赖的情况下,如何规范XML文档,提出了以DTD为模式的XML文档的多值依赖的概念。然后基于多值依赖的概念,提出了XML文档的一种多值依赖范式MXNF。最后在此基础上提出了把一个XML文档的DTD无损联接地分解成为符合MXNF的规范化算法,来规范存在多值依赖的XML DTD文档,并给出了该算法的分析说明。     

Clustering DTDs: An Interactive Two-Level Approach

XML（eXtensible Markup Language)is a standard which is widely applied in data representation and data exchange,However,as an important concept of XML,DTD(Document Type Definition)is not taken full advantage in current applications.In this paper,a new method for clustering DTDs is presented.and it can be used in XML document clustering.The two-level method clusters the elements in DTDs and clusters DTDs separately.Element clustering forms the first level and provides element clusters,which are the generalization of relevant elements.DTD clustering utilizes the generalized information and forms the second level in the whole clustering process.The two-level method has the following advantages:1) It takes into consideration both the content and the structure within DTDs;2) The generalized information about elements is more useful than the separated words in the vector model;3) The two-level method facilitates the searching of outliers.The experiments show that this method is able to categorize the relevant DTDs effectively.

Static analysis of XML transformations in Java

XML documents generated dynamically by programs are typically represented as text strings or DOM trees. This is a low-level approach for several reasons: 1) traversing and modifying such structures can be tedious and error prone, 2) although schema languages, e.g., DTD, allow classes of XML documents to be defined, there are generally no automatic mechanisms for statically checking that a program transforms from one class to another as intended. We introduce XACT, a high-level approach for Java using XML templates as a first-class data type with operations for manipulating XML values based on XPath. In addition to an efficient runtime representation, the data type permits static type checking using DTD schemas as types. By specifying schemes for the input and output of a program, our analysis algorithm will statically verify that valid input data is always transformed into valid output data and that the operations are used consistently.     

Typechecking for XML transformers

We study the typechecking problem for XML (eXtensible Markup Language) transformers: given an XML transformation program and a DTD for the input XML documents, check whether every result of the program conforms to a specified output DTD. We model XML transformers using a novel device called a k-pebble transducer, that can express most queries without data-value joins in XML-QL, XSLT, and other XML query languages. Types are modeled by regular tree languages, a robust extension of DTDs. The main result of the paper is that typechecking for k-pebble transducers is decidable. Consequently, typechecking can be performed for a broad range of XML transformation languages, including XML-QL and a fragment of XSLT.     

XML and Industrial Standards for Electronic Commerce

With the rapid adoption of XML as the meta data format for electronic commerce applications, many XML-based industrial standards for electronic commerce have been proposed. Since XML only defines a standardized syntax that introduces new tags used to represent data semantics, the task of defining a common set of tags and organizing tags into Data Type Definitions (DTDs) is left to developers of XML applications. XML applications do not interact with each other if their tags and DTDs are different. In this paper, we discuss and compare seven industrial standards for electronic commerce based on XML. They are BizTalk, CBL, cXML, IOTP, OAGIS, OCF, and RETML. Each standard is categorized according to its coverage of business activities. The following observations are made after examining industrial standards from different perspectives. Firstly, XML has a big impact on industrial standards for electronic commerce. Secondly, most industrial standards are not quite mature at the current stage, and there are no apparent leaders among the competitors. Thirdly, the complexity of their DTDs varies quantitatively and qualitatively. Fourthly, the integration of industrial standards is imperative if applications based on different standards intend to exchange XML documents smoothly.

XML Schema与DTD的比较及应用

XML是目前广泛应用的数据交换标准，而模式是应用XML进行数据交换的正确性的保证机制之一。模式详细描述了文档的结构，确保文档的元素和属性等的正确性。XML Schema和DTD是其中应用最广泛的模式。文中详细比较了两者的异同，并指出了各自的局限及最佳的应用，DTD非常适合于文本密集型XML文档，而XML Schema更适合于数据密集型XML文档。

XML文档在关系数据库中的存储研究

XML目前正在成为各种数据库特别是文档的首选格式,然而由于数据模型的差异.利用关系数据库查询处理XML数据给传统数据库技术带来新的挑战.通过一种基于DTD的XML关系数据库存储方法.该方法分别针对DTD和XML文档建立独立的表结构和索引,从而提高查询效率.     

一种DTD到关系模式的映射方法

现有的XML到关系数据的映射算法没有充分考虑DTD中所蕴涵的语义，如果DTD中蕴含函数依赖，在映射到关系数据库时应考虑DTD中的函数依赖，基于Inlining算法，考虑DTD中蕴含的函数依赖，提出了一种既能保持XML文档的内容和结构，又能保持函数依赖的从XML到关系数据模型的映射方法。     

XML文档的范式

给出了 XML函数依赖、部分函数依赖和传递函数依赖的概念 ,然后据此提出了三种 XML范式 :1XNF、2 XNF和 3XNF.提出了 DTD无损联接分解的概念 ,给出了两个把 DTD无损联接地分解成 2 XNF和 3XNF的算法     

Slicing XML Documents

Program slicing is a well-known technique to extract the program statements that (potentially) affect the values computed at some point of interest. In this work, we introduce a novel slicing method for XML documents. Essentially, given an XML document (which is valid w.r.t. some DTD), we produce a new XML document (a slice) that contains the relevant information in the original XML document according to some criterion. Furthermore, we also output a new DTD such that the computed slice is valid w.r.t. this DTD. A prototype implementation of the XML slicer has been undertaken.

Mapping DTDs to relational schemas with semantic constraints

XML is becoming a prevalent format and standard for data exchange in many applications. With the increase of XML data, there is an urgent need to research some efficient methods to store and manage XML data. As relational databases are the primary choices for this purpose considering their data management power, it is necessary to research the problem of mapping XML schemas to relational schemas. The semantics of XML schemas are crucial to design, query, and store XML documents and functional dependencies are very important representations of semantic information of XML schemas. As DTDs are one of the most frequently used schemas for XML documents in these days, we will use DTDs as schemas of XML documents here. This paper proposes the concept and the formal definition of XML functional dependencies over DTDs. A method to map XML DTDs to relational schemas with constraints such as functional dependencies, domain constraints, choice constraints, reference constraints, and cardinality constraints over DTDs is given, which can preserve the structures of DTDs as well as the semantics implied by the above constraints over DTDs. The concepts and method of mapping DTDs to relational schemas presented in the paper can be extended to the field of XML Schema just with some modifications in related formal definitions.
