Abstract

Several indexing methods have been proposed to encode tree structures and path structures of XML, which are generally called structure indexes. To efficiently evaluate XML queries, it is indispensable to integrate tree structure and path structure indexes as a multidimensional index. Previous work of XML indexing have often developed specialized data structures tailored to some query patterns to handle this multidimensionality, however, their availability to the other types of queries has been obscure. Our method is based on the multidimensional index implemented on top of the B+-tree, and also it is general and applicable to the various choice of XML labeling methods. Our extensive experimental results confirm great advantages of our method.
