A relational–XML data warehouse for data aggregation with SQL and XQuery

Integrating information from multiple data sources is becoming increasingly important for enterprises that partner with other companies for e‐commerce. However, companies have their internal business applications deployed on diverse platforms and no standard solution for integrating information from these sources exists. To support business intelligence query activities, it is useful to build a data warehouse on top of middleware that aggregates the data obtained from various heterogeneous database systems. Online analytical processing (OLAP) can then be used to provide fast access to materialized views from the data warehouse. Since extensible markup language (XML) documents are a common data representation standard on the Internet and relational tables are commonly used for production data, OLAP must handle both relational and XML data. SQL and XQuery can be used to process the materialized relational and XML data cubes created from the aggregated data. This paper shows how to handle the two kinds of data cubes from a relational–XML data warehouse using extract, transformation and loading. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Querying business processes with BP-QL

We present in this paper BP-QL, a novel query language for querying business processes. The BP-QL language is based on an intuitive model of business processes, an abstraction of the emerging BPEL (business process execution language) standard. It allows users to query business processes visually, in a manner very analogous to how such processes are typically specified, and can be employed in a distributed setting, where process components may be provided by distinct providers.     

A manufacturing XML schema definition and its application to a data management system on the shop floor

Digitization for sharing knowledge on the shop floor in the machinery industry has been given much attention recently. To help engineers use digitization practically and efficiently, this paper proposes a method based on manufacturing case data that has a direct relation to manufacturing operations. The data are represented in XML schema, as it can be easily applied to Web-based systems on the shop floor. The definitions were made for eight manufacturing methods including machining and welding. The derived definitions consist of four divisions of metadata, work-piece, process and evaluation. Three divisions except for the “process” division are common to the manufacturing methods. The average number of elements for a manufacturing method is about 200. The represented schema is also used to convey knowledge such as operation standards and manufacturing troubleshooting on the shop floor. Using the definitions, a data management system is developed. It is a Web-based Q&A system, in which the engineers specify the manufacturing case data mainly by selecting from the candidates. Then, the system fills in the blank portions and/or shows messages to help complete the case data. The proposed method is evaluated through practical scenarios of arc welding and machining.     

Measuring the structural similarity among XML documents and DTDs

Measuring the structural similarity between an XML document and a DTD has many relevant applications that range from document classification and approximate structural queries on XML documents to selective dissemination of XML documents and document protection. The problem is harder than measuring structural similarity among documents, because a DTD can be considered as a generator of documents. Thus, the problem is to evaluate the similarity between a document and a set of documents. An effective structural similarity measure should face different requirements that range from considering the presence and absence of required elements, as well as the structure and level of the missing and extra elements to vocabulary discrepancies due to the use of synonymous or syntactically similar tags. In the paper, starting from these requirements, we provide a definition of the measure and present an algorithm for matching a document against a DTD to obtain their structural similarity. Finally, experimental results to assess the effectiveness of the approach are presented.     

An approach to mining bundled commodities

Although bundled commodities are largely existed in supermarket, there are few investigations about bundled commodities mining. In this study, interval-valued association rules as a novel and possible approach to solving the bundled commodities mining issue, is proposed. Properties research based on interval-valued association rules is conducted, and an interval-valued rule pattern: F, ,  is constructed, where F denotes set of interval-valued ruses, and denote the disjunctive operation and conjunctive operation, respectively. Furthermore, one of the properties satisfied by the interval-valued rules: A  C = B  C and A  C = B  C  A = B, where A, B, C are there different rules, is validated and utilized to mine the bundled commodities. Finally, a large-scale software engineering project relative to interval-valued rule mining is implemented to merge flight testing information about aircrafts which validates the technique of mining bundled commodities can be discovered a special relation between objects. These initial investigations provide a researchable framework for bundled commodities mining.     

基于角色的安全工作流模型

针对在文档开发和管理方面存在的问题,设计与实现基于Docbook规范的文档格式转换工具.该工具将文档中自定义的可扩展标识语言(XML)和HTML文件转换为符合Docbook规范的文件,通过XSLT转换为其他格式的文件,实现将自定义标签的XML文件自由转换为多种格式的文件,从而提高文档开发和管理的效率.     

基于XML的BOM生成系统

针对产品设计时零部件之间关系复杂、生成报表困难等问题,提出一种基于XML技术的物料清单(BOM)生成系统。用树状结构定义零部件之间的关系,采用XML文档存储各个零部件的信息和部件之间的结构关系。为保证产品数据在多个分散部门之间通过网络传输时的安全性,在建立产品数据库时对XML文档数据应用Rijndael算法进行加密,提高了系统安全。客户端对加密数据进行解密后,可以获得产品信息的完整XML描述,生成各种报表。该系统实际已应用于企业设计生产,取得了良好效果。
