A method of translating a relational database into an XML document comprises generating an Extended Entity Relationship model from relational schema associated with the relational database and applying a schema translation process to the Extended Entity Relationship model to map the relational schema into a Document Type Definition (DTD) of an XML schema. An XML Tree Model is then generated from the Document Type Definition, the XML Tree Model being representative of one or more data semantics of the relational schema which are preserved as one or more data semantics in the XML document. Relational data from the relational database is then converted into the XML document using the relational schema and the XML schema from the Document Type Definition and / or the XML Tree Model. There is also described a method of translating an XML database into a relational database which comprises the reversal of the steps of the aforementioned method, and a system for implementing both methods.

The invention discloses a drawing and model integrated visual integration design method. A design institute and a system manufacturer take the responsibility of a system integrator together to finish the work of a designing a drawing for a transform substation and modeling all-station information. In the method, secondary development is performed on an Auto computer-aided design (CAD) by adopting an ActiveX Automation technology by taking the AutoCAD as an information interaction platform so as to establish a native XML database (NXD)-based model text storage database. By adopting the drawing and model integrated integration design, both a design drawing and a model file provided by the design institute can be identified; the bonding of information is finished by the design method so that a CAD file which is finally provided for a user can not only display connection information in the model in a visual mode, but also export the model file for a required unit, a manufacturer or a system to use, and realize the bidirectional switching of the drawing and the model.

A method and system for publishing a plurality of books for user access to information includes selecting a plurality of books, converting each book from a publisher's digital form, e.g., by training a tool to detect characteristic features (such as layout, typeface, and hierarchical or organizational features such as chapter headings, captions, drawings and tables), and extracting text or data information of the book tagged with the features. This produces a searchable library database arranged, for example, as an xml database indexed by book structure such that a user may remotely, over the internet or other network, access the database, search desired content, and view an image of a portion of the book with the desired data. The system includes a user registration module to identify an authorized user, and may maintain a personal bookshelf for the user. A search engine may score search results based on their position in the hierarchy or other factors, determining degree of relevance of text or data information located by the search engine. The other factors may include position of located search data in the hierarchy, identification of search data in the user's personal library or in a prior search by the user, or degree of match of data identified in the search. An interface with a commercially available search engine may operate to adapt the search. When provided a search query by a user, it may search for an exact match and score hits for relevance, and in the event an exact match is not found, operate to expand the query and return hits in order of rank together with an indication of the expanded search. The user may thus ascertain a degree of likely relevance of returned text or data information. The relational database may include hyperlinks to section headings and related data passages, such that a user accessing a page of a book may immediately view related data and context of a page. The relational database is indexed by logical subunits of the book such that expanded searches for Boolean combinations or proximity of elements span page breaks of book text to identify all instances of the desired search data. The search engine may expand a search if all hits have low ranking, and may suppress hits of low ranking when the search produces hits of high ranking. In further embodiments, the search engine may search tables, drawings and formulae of the converted book file.

The invention relates to a data processing method for unified payment messages.

One aspect of the present invention is a system for classifying element nodes in a subtree-structured XML database. The XQE structural-textual classification system is sensitive to both the textual resemblance between document elements as well as the structural resemblance between document elements. The XQE structural-textual classification system might use the XQE parent-child index described in Lindblad II-A for the purpose of forming vectors of “terms” which encode both the structural and the textual content of XML elements. The element vectors are processed by a classifier to create class prototype vectors which can be used to classify elements as they are added to the database.

Cost-based optimizer functionality for an XML database repository provides means for optimizing the execution of database queries that access XML resources in the database repository. Statistics about XML resources that are stored in the database repository are gathered, stored and utilized by a query optimizer to compute computational costs associated with each of multiple methods of accessing particular XML resources requested in a database query. Hence, the optimizer is able to select the most efficient query execution plan based on the costs of possible access paths. In one embodiment, specific statistics about the hierarchical structure of XML resources stored in the XML database repository are gathered, stored in a relational table in the database management system, and used to compute the selectivity of query predicates and the index cost associated with traversing one or more indexes to access requested XML resources.
