Paper Abstract:
|
In Web applications it is often required to manipulate information of semistructured nature, which 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 structure, under different contexts. Following previous work
on storing XML in relational databases, we present results of our ongoing research on storing, querying and updating
MXML documents using relational databases. First we consider alternative schemas for representing MXML in RDBs.
Then we introduce MXPath, an extension of XPath for MXML, and give an intuition of how MXPath queries can be
translated into SQL queries. Finally we consider the problem of updating MXML by introducing a number of basic
update operations. |
