Abstract

In the scenario of XML repository, where are large amounts of relevant documents with DTDs and without DTDs. To query the explicit and implicit documents in the repository, we provide user with a pattern specification language to specify the structural pattern of his/her interest, and organize all of the data matching the pattern are grouped as view documents. For facilitates the query formulation and evaluation, a view DTD is inferred from the repository. This paper introduces the algorithm for inferring the view DTD from the XML repository.
