Abstract

Storing XML documents in relational database systems is still the most affordable and available storage solution. Meanwhile more work is still needed to provide efficient support for dynamic XML data stored in RDBMS. We present an abstract design for an Enabled XML Management System, and also propose a new labeling approach for nodes in XML documents, which we call XMask. XMask is a Dewey based labeling technique where each element is identified by a label consisting of two values (1) node Id (2) and node Mask. XMask can efficiently maintain the document structure and order with a short-length label that can fit in a 32-bit integer. We report the results of experimental evaluation using XML data between our approach and two other approaches, namely Edge and XRel, which use integer values for labeling as well. We show that our approach outperforms the other two approaches for complex queries.
