Abstract

This tutorial introduces the concept of XML Structural Summaries and describes their role within XML retrieval. It covers the usage of those summaries for Database-style query processing and Information Retrieval-style search tasks in the context of both centralized and distributed environments. Finally, it discusses new retrieval scenarios that can potentially be favorably supported by those summaries.
