Embodiment Construction

[0037] When a user indicates a path to a certain entity to be accessed in an XML file, a regular path expression shortens and expresses the path.

[0038] 1A and 1B illustrate one embodiment of an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file representing a portion of the metadata specification for TV-anytime. The metadata of TV-anytime represents data related to TV broadcast programs. Metadata includes program ID, title, synopsis, keywords, format, and cast. FIG. 1A shows an example of an XML file of TV-anytime, and FIG. 1B shows a tree structure in which the content of the XML file is expressed.

[0039] As can be seen from FIG. 1B, the tree structure of the XML file in the general business application field such as TV-anytime is very large and complicated. Therefore, when a user requests to search an XML file, it is not easy to define an exact path. If the user tries to retrieve the names of actors who performed in a specific program, the user can define an absolute path express...

Abstract

Provided is a path index lookup method, i.e., an extended markup language (XML) indexing method by which a relational database can stably process a query regardless of how a user defines the query. In the path index lookup method, a regular path expression with a certain length can be processed through a single joining operation using a PathLookup table and an ExtendedEdge table. Thus, a regular path expression query, which is a core type of XML user query, can be stably and quickly processed regardless of how a user describes the query.

Description

technical field [0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 2002-25398 filed on May 8, 2002 at the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [0002] The present invention relates to a path index lookup method, which is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) indexing method, by which a relational database can process a query stably regardless of how the user expresses the query. The present invention specifically relates to a method for A method for processing regular path expressions of a specific length through a single join operation using a path lookup table and an extended edge table. Background technique [0003] Extensible Markup Language (XML), which has been proposed as a standard language for information exchange on the Internet, is widely used in computer and network systems (SynML, UpnP) and in many other industrial fields, such as bioinformatics (BSMP, BioML ), e-commerce (ebXML,...
