Leonard, Jonathan Lee. "Strategies for Encoding XML Documents in Relational Databases: Comparisons and Contrasts." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2006. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2213.
Full textAbstract:
The rise of XML as a de facto standard for document and data exchange has created a need to store and query XML documents in relational databases, today's de facto standard for data storage. Two common strategies for storing XML documents in relational databases, a process known as document shredding, are Interval encoding and ORDPATH Encoding. Interval encoding, which uses a fixed mapping for shredding XML documents, tends to favor selection queries, at a potential cost of O(N) for supporting insertion queries. ORDPATH Encoding, which uses a looser mapping for shredding XML, supports fixed-cost insertions, at a potential cost of longer-running selection queries. Experiments conducted for this research suggest that the breakeven point between the two algorithms occurs when users offer an average 1 insertion to every 5.6 queries, relative to documents of between 1.5 MB and 4 MB in size. However, heterogeneous tests of varying mixes of selects and inserts indicate that Interval always outperforms ORDPATH for mixes ranging from 76% selects to 88% selects. Queries for this experiment and sample documents were drawn from the XMark benchmark suite.

Full textAbstract:
Since the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has recommended XQuery as the standard XML query language, the interest in using existing relational technology to query the XML data has dramatically increased. The most significant challenge of the relational approach is how to fully support XQuery semantics in XQuery-to-SQL translation. To eliminate the implicit semantics of XQuery, an XQuery fragment must be defined with simple syntax and explicit semantics. XQ is proposed as an XQuery fragment to express XML queries. In this thesis, XQ is intensively investigated. It is encoded by System F, a second-order lambda calculus with a considerable expressive power and a strong normalization property. Since XML data is defined as inductive data types, XML tree and XML forest, in System F, all basic XML operators in XQ have been successfully encoded. Also, the semantics of XQ are represented in System F where XQ's semantics environment is encoded by an Environment data type with the corresponding operators. The successful encoding of XQ by System F ensures the termination of XQ query evaluation.
Moreover, an extension of XQ by a new tree operator Xtree and a vertical Vfor clause is proposed in this thesis to express some undefinable XQ queries. It is demonstrated that this extension still allows XQ to retain its XQ-to-SQL translation property that ensures the polynomial evaluation time complexity, and its System F encodable property that ensures the termination of query evaluation.

The presentation presents the state of discussion for guidelines for TEI XML encoding of Ancient Egyptian text artefacts in Egyptology as of middle of 2016. It introduces Egyptological projects actively involved in the development of TEI encoding recommendations and online thesauri/ontologies. Special attention is paid to the TEI encoding of toponyms, personal names, relative and absolute dates, as well as language varieties and script varieties. Furthermore, the presentation introduces the current state of an EpiDoc Cheatsheet for Egyptology compiled by Daniel A. Werning, which gives recommendations for the encoding of traditional philological markup in Egyptology which, in turn, is
largely conform to the EpiDoc Guidelines (v8.21). A specific topic, in this respect, is the adaptation of the TEI ‘regularization’ tag

Al, Zadjali Hanaa. "Compressing labels of dynamic XML data using Base-9 scheme and Fibonacci encoding." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2017. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/18571/.
Full textAbstract:
The flexibility and self-describing nature of XML has made it the most common mark-up language used for data representation over the Web. XML data is naturally modelled as a tree, where the structural tree information can be encoded into labels via XML labelling scheme in order to permit answers to queries without the need to access original XML files. As the transmission of XML data over the Internet has become vibrant, it has also become necessary to have an XML labelling scheme that supports dynamic XML data. For a large-scale and frequently updated XML document, existing dynamic XML labelling schemes still suffer from high growth rates in terms of their label size, which can result in overflow problems and/or ambiguous data/query retrievals. This thesis considers the compression of XML labels. A novel XML labelling scheme, named “Base-9”, has been developed to generate labels that are as compact as possible and yet provide efficient support for queries to both static and dynamic XML data. A Fibonacci prefix-encoding method has been used for the first time to store Base-9’s XML labels in a compressed format, with the intention of minimising the storage space without degrading XML querying performance. The thesis also investigates the compression of XML labels using various existing prefix-encoding methods. This investigation has resulted in the proposal of a novel prefix-encoding method named “Elias-Fibonacci of order 3”, which has achieved the fastest encoding time of all prefix-encoding methods studied in this thesis, whereas Fibonacci encoding was found to require the minimum storage. Unlike current XML labelling schemes, the new Base-9 labelling scheme ensures the generation of short labels even after large, frequent, skewed insertions. The advantages of such short labels as those generated by the combination of applying the Base-9 scheme and the use of Fibonacci encoding in terms of storing, updating, retrieving and querying XML data are supported by the experimental results reported herein.

Full textAbstract:
With the rapid growth of XML documents to serve as a popular and major media for storage and interchange of the data on the Web, there is an increasing interest in using existing traditional relational database techniques to store and/or query XML data. Since XQuery is becoming a standard XML query language, significant effort has been made in developing an efficient and comprehensive XQuery-to-SQL query processor.
In this thesis, we design and implement an XQuery-to-SQL Query Processor based on the Dynamic Intervals approach. We also provide a comprehensive translation for XQuery basic operations and FLWR expressions. The query processor is able to translate a complex XQuery query, which might include arbitrarily composed and nested FLWR expressions, basic functions, and element constructors, into a single SQL query for RDBMS and a physical plan for the XQuery-enhanced Relational Engine.
In order to produce efficient and concise SQL queries, succinct XQuery to SQL translation templates and the optimization algorithms for the SQL query generation are proposed and implemented. The preferable merge-join approach is also proposed to avoid the inefficient nested-loop evaluation for FLWR expressions. Merge-join patterns and query rewriting rules are designed to identify XQuery fragments that can utilize the efficient merge-join evaluation. Proofs of correctness of the approach are provided in the thesis. Experimental results justify the correctness of our work.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet and networks in general have become essential tools for disseminating in-formation. Search engines have become the predominant means of finding information on the Web and all other data repositories, including local resources. Domain scientists regularly acquire and analyze images generated by equipment such as microscopes and cameras, resulting in complex image files that need to be managed in a convenient manner. This type of integrated environment has been recently termed a netcentric sci-entific research repository. I developed a number of data manipulation tools that allow researchers to manage their information more effectively in a netcentric environment. The specific contributions are: (1) A unique interface for management of data including files and relational databases. A wrapper for relational databases was developed so that the data can be indexed and searched using traditional search engines. This approach allows data in databases to be searched with the same interface as other data. Fur-thermore, this approach makes it easier for scientists to work with their data if they are not familiar with SQL. (2) A Web services based architecture for integrating analysis op-erations into a repository. This technique allows the system to leverage the large num-ber of existing tools by wrapping them with a Web service and registering the service with the repository. Metadata associated with Web services was enhanced to allow this feature to be included. In addition, an improved binary to text encoding scheme was de-veloped to reduce the size overhead for sending large scientific data files via XML mes-sages used in Web services. (3) Integrated image analysis operations with SQL. This technique allows for images to be stored and managed conveniently in a relational da-tabase. SQL supplemented with map algebra operations is used to select and perform operations on sets of images.

Previous issue date: 2009-06-30This work proposes an environment for programming programmable logic controllers applied to oil wells with BCP type method of artificially lifting. The environment will have an editor based in the diagram of sequential functions for programming of PLCs. This language was chosen due to the fact of being high-level and accepted by the international standard IEC 61131-3. The use of these control programs in real PLC will be possible with the use of an intermediate level of language based on XML specification PLCopen T6 XML. For the testing and validation of the control programs, an area should be available for viewing variables obtained through communication with a real PLC. Thus, the main contribution of this work is to develop a computational environment that allows: modeling, testing and validating the controls represented in SFC and applied in oil wells with BCP type method of artificially lifting

Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedCurrent and emerging Navy information concepts, including network-centric warfare and Navy Tactical Cloud, presume high network throughput and interoperability. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) addresses the latter requirement, but its verbosity is problematic for afloat networks. JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is an alternative to XML common in web applications and some non-relational databases. Compact, binary encodings exist for both formats. Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) is a standardized, binary encoding of XML. Binary JSON (BSON) and Compact Binary Object Representation (CBOR) are JSON-compatible encodings. This work evaluates EXI compaction against both encodings, and extends evaluations of EXI for datasets up to 4 gigabytes. Generally, a configuration of EXI exists that produces a more compact encoding than BSON or CBOR. Tests show EXI compacts structured, non-multimedia data in Microsoft Office files better than the default format. The Navy needs to immediately consider EXI for use in web, sensor, and office document applications to improve throughput over constrained networks. To maximize EXI benefits, future work needs to evaluate EXI’s parameters, as well as tune XML schema documents, on a case-by-case basis prior to EXI deployment. A suite of test examples and an evaluation framework also need to be developed to support this process.

Qin is one of the oldest Chinese instrument. It’s score is very unique score. Its name is Jian-Tz-Pu. There exists major difference between Jian tz pu and western score. It is very difficult to use Jian-Tz-Pu to automatically analysis their content. In this paper, we focus on Mei-An-Qin-Pu for our research. First, we analysis the information in Mei-An-Qin-Pu. We summarized the previous researches on Han-Tz topological structure. We find out there are eight kinds of topological structure can use in Jian-Tz-Pu. We used XML format to encode the Qin score. The syntax we developed is called Qin XML. According to Mei-An-Qin-Pu, we created Jian-Tz-Pu characters in true type font. It can be used to create the Qin scores digital collection and to present the Jian-Tz-Pu in digital way.

Full textAbstract:
AM 28 8vo, ca. 1300, is one of the most famous medieval Danish manuscripts and, at the same time, also one of the most unusual: it is entirely written in medieval runes. It has interested scholars and librarians over the centuries, right up to the digital turn. The aim of the thesis has been to produce a digital edition of the entire AM 28 8vo, supplied with a full lemmatisation of its texts based on the lexical entries provided by Gammeldansk Ordbog. This is the first complete edition of a runic text of considerable length using a tailored runic font (UNI Runes font) for a close transcription in runes of the texts. This thesis is developed in two volumes: the methodological background provided in the first volume serves as an introduction to the second volume. Specifically, in the first one, the manuscript is presented in relation to the context of production of the so-called runica manuscripta, and it aims to emphasise the need to create a specific subcategory for manuscripts such as AM 28 8vo. Subsequently, a detailed codicological and palaeographical analysis – traditional and with innovative methods – is included and was made possible by research on the field. Both kind of analyses highlighted and supported the hypothesis of the involvement of three scribal hands in the writing of AM 28 8vo, but also shed light on the revision processes the texts underwent, looking, for instance, at the most frequent corrections. At the end of the first volume, the criteria on which my digital Menotic edition is based, the levels of textual representation (facsimile, rune-by-rune, and diplomatic, rune-by-Latin letter) and its structure are described. At the time of writing, the digital edition is available in the Menota test archive at , but it will be moved to the Menota main archive at . The second volume contains the edition itself; the facsimile and diplomatic levels and high-definition images for each folio can be consulted at the same time. To conclude, the output of this thesis presents AM 28 8vo as it has never seen before; the interoperable digital edition includes information that is missing in the previous editions, such as runic characters and lemmatisation. Furthermore, this edition meets the FAIR principles, which guide projects within the digital humanities. Thanks to the CC BY SA 4.0 license, the Menotic XML file of the encoding is freely available for consultation, download, reusing in other contexts, and eventually continuing the work, such as updating the metadata or adding new levels of textual representation.
