Abstract

We describe the external data manager component of the Lore database system for semistructured data. Lore's external data manager enables dynamic retrieval and integration of data from arbitrary, heterogeneous external sources during query processing. The distinction between Lore-resident and external data is invisible to the user. We introduce a flexible notion of arguments that limits the amount of data fetched from an external source, and we have incorporated optimizations to reduce the number of calls to an external source.

Semistructured data and XML
Information organization and databases

XML poses a new set of challenges for semistructured data research. The Extensible Markup Language, XML, is a new recommendation from World Wide Web Consortium that will become a universal data exchange format for the Web. XML shares many common ...
Validating semistructured data using OWL
WAIM '06: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Advances in Web-Age Information Management

Semistructured data has become prevalent in both web applications and database systems. This rapid growth in use makes the design of good semistructured data essential. Formal semantics and automated reasoning tools enable us to reveal the ...
Semistructured Data: From Practice to Theory
LICS '01: Proceedings of the 16th Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science

Abstract: Semistructured data is data that presents some regularity (it is not an image or plain text) but perhaps not as much as some relational data or some ODMG data (the standard of object databases). Such data is becoming increasingly important and,...
