@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12459, title = {A Keyword-Based Filtering Technique of Document-Centric XML using NFA Representation }, author = {Changwoo Byun and Kyounghan Lee and Seog Park}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {XML is becoming a de facto standard for online data exchange. Existing XML filtering techniques based on a publish/subscribe model are focused on the highly structured data marked up with XML tags. These techniques are efficient in filtering the documents of data-centric XML but are not effective in filtering the element contents of the document-centric XML. In this paper, we propose an extended XPath specification which includes a special matching character '%' used in the LIKE operation of SQL in order to solve the difficulty of writing some queries to adequately filter element contents using the previous XPath specification. We also present a novel technique for filtering a collection of document-centric XMLs, called Pfilter, which is able to exploit the extended XPath specification. We show several performance studies, efficiency and scalability using the multi-query processing time (MQPT). }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {3}, year = {2007}, pages = {539 - 546}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12459}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/3}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 3, 2007}, }
