Abstract

XML queries specify predicates on the content and the structure of the elements of tree-structured XML documents. Hence, discovering the occurrences of twig (tree structure) query patterns is a core operation for XML query processing. In this paper, we propose a novel technique for matching XML twig query patterns, named TWIX, which results in a substantial reduction of the search space, response time, size and structure invariance through a distributed binary labeling and tree traversal algorithm. Furthermore, TWIX benefits from an interactive graphical user interface for twig query matching.
