Abstract

XML documents on a database should be revalidated whenever a DTD is updated, since the documents may no longer be valid against the DTD. Solving the inclusion problem for DTDs is essential to avoiding such an expensive revalidation, but the problem is shown to be PSPACE-complete. In this paper, we propose a subproblem of the inclusion problem in terms of edit operations to regular expressions, and show a polynomial-time algorithm for solving the subproblem. Then we consider the recognizability of the algorithm.
