Target node aimed path expression processing for XML data. Journal of Software, 2024,16(5):827837. DOI: 10.1360/jos160827Abstract:XML query languages take complex path expressions as their core. To facilitate path expression processing, the processing strategy based on path decomposition and structural join operation needs to be investigated more deeply. In this paper, a target node aimed at path expression processing framework for XML data is proposed. This approach makes use of the extended basic operations to reduce the number of join operations. In the procedure of path decomposition and query plan selection, target node in the query tree is utilized to avoid the transfer of the intermediate results. In addition to decomposition rules and strategies, a set of extended basic operations and implementation algorithms are proposed. Preliminary experiments indicate this approach has good performance. It provides path query processing with more choices.Key words:XML query processing; path expression; structural join; selective structural join; path index摘 要: XML 查询语言将复杂路径表达式作为核心内容. 为了加速路径表达式处理, 基于路径分解和结构连接操作的处理策略需要更深化的...
