Abstract

A flexible query model is presented for well-formed XML documents. Our approach relies on modeling XML documents as labeled graphs and selectively extending their structure by computing fuzzy estimates of the importance of the information they provide, at the granularity of XML tags. The result of such an extension is a fuzzy labeled graph. Query results are subgraphs of this fuzzy labeled graph, presented as a ranked list according to their degree of matching to the user query.
