Q3: Bit, (SLCA)

Find papers by Vianu on the topic of
XSEarch[VLDB03] Find papers by Vianu on the topic of “logical databases” How can we find such papers?

Standard Search Engine
A document containing some of the three query terms is considered as a result.

The document is not relevant to the query. This does not work!!!
The document contains the three query terms. Hence, it is returned by a standard search engine. BUT The document is returned BUT it does not contain any paper on “logical databases” by Vianu The document is not relevant to the query. This does not work!!! This fragment does not represent a paper about logical databases This fragment does not represent a paper by Vianu <proceedings> <inproceedings> <author>Moshe Y. Vardi</author> <title>Querying Logical Databases</title> </inproceedings> <author>Victor Vianu</author> <title>A Web Odyssey: From Codd to XML</title> </proceedings>

Lowest common ancestor of
Relationship Trees Relationship tree of n1, n2, …, nk Lowest common ancestor of n1, n2, …, nk The relationship tree of nodes n1,..., nk is the subtree T of the document D, such that T is rooted at the lowest common ancestor (lca) of n1,..., nk, and T consists of the k paths from the lca to n1 through nk … nk n1 n2

XSEarch: A Semantic Search Engine for XML
n1,..., nk are interconnected if either relationship tree of n1,..., nk does not contain two nodes with the same label, or the only nodes with the same label in the relationship tree of n1,..., nk, are among n1,..., nk

Lowest common ancestor of circled nodes
Example (1) Lowest common ancestor of circled nodes Relationship tree proceedings Moshe Y. Vardi inproceedings author title Querying Logical Databases Victor Vianu A Web Odyssey: From Codd to XML Circled nodes belong to different inproceedings entities. They ARE NOT interconnected!

Lowest common ancestor of circled nodes
Example (2) Lowest common ancestor of circled nodes proceedings Moshe Y. Vardi inproceedings author title Querying Logical Databases Victor Vianu A Web Odyssey: From Codd to XML Relationship tree Circled nodes belong to the same inproceedings entity. They ARE interconnected!

Vardi Victor Vianu Serge Abiteboul Queries and Computation on the Web Querying Logical Databases Circled nodes belong to the same inproceedings entity, but are labeled with the same tag. They ARE interconnected.

Interconnection Semantics for Keyword Search in XML[CIKM05]
ID references are ignored That is, documents are always trees The schema is ignored Therefore, missing information is not taken into account

Keyword-Search Example
{Cohen , IR}

A Result {Cohen , IR} Cohen and IR are in the same department

Another Result {Cohen , IR} Identifying meaningful
Cohen and IR are in the same department and Cohen wrote an article about IR This fragment should have a higher rank Identifying meaningful relationships can improve ranking in keyword search

A Schema Defines Document Structure
The root of the schema is the label of the root of the document

A Schema Defines Document Structure
An edge in the document is allowed only if an edge between the corresponding labels appears in the schema

In the formal framework, patterns are the basic building blocks
Formally, a pattern is a pair (L,C) C is a tree of labels L is a set of labels ( , ) {title,publication,author} C contains L C has no redundant edges

Interconnection by Patterns
A set O of objects is interconnected if the objects are in a tree that is isomorphic to the pattern ( , ) Now I’ll define when a patterns interconnects a set of objects. This is a formal definition, I will explain it by an example. {title,publication,author}

{title,publication,author} ( ) ,

{title,publication,author} ( ) , Interconnected … so a pattern represents a specific meaningful relationship

Interconnection Semantics
An interconnection semantics P is a set of patterns A set of objects is interconnected by P if it is interconnected by a pattern of P ({title,name} , ) ({title,name} , )

The Subtrees of {title,publication}

The Subtrees of {title,author}

The Subtrees of {title,author}
? The author did not actually wrote the paper Is this what we mean?

The Interconnection Semantics Puca
Intuitively, p is structurally minimal if internal nodes in C cannot be roots of trees containing L The semantics Puca(S) is the set of all structurally minimal patterns

One Structurally Minimal Pattern
({title,author} , ) In the schema, article is the only common ancestor of {title,author}

Another Structurally Minimal Pattern
({title,author} , ) In the schema, inproc. is the only common ancestor of {title,author}

A Third Structurally Minimal Pattern
({title,author} , ) In the schema, inproc. is the only common ancestor of {title,author}

Not a Structurally Minimal Pattern
({title,author} , ) In the schema, department, publications and incproc. are all common ancestors of {title,author}

Back to the Document

Puca(S)-Interconnected title and author
This subtree shows Puca(S)-interconnection! ({title,author} , )

Not Puca(S)-Interconnected
This subtree does not show Puca(S)-interconnection! ({title,author} , )

Keyword Proximity Search on XML Graphs[ICDE03]
Input: a set of keywords Results: trees of XML fragments(called target objects) that contains all the keywords, ranked according to their size Assume the existence of schema, facilitates the presentation of the results and used in optimizing the performance of the system.

Name[John]personsupplierlineitemlinepartproductdescr[set of VCR and DVD] , size 6
Name[John]personsupplierlineitemlinepartpartsubpartpartname[VCR], size 8

Query semantics Result: the set of all possible Minimal Total Target Object Networks(MTTON’s) What’s MTTON? Node network j: an uncycled subgraph of G, such that each edge in j is an edge in G Total node network j of keyword {k1,…,km}: a node network where every keyword is contained at least one node n of j Minimal Total Node Network(MTTN): a total node network j where no node can be removed and j still be a total node network. Score : number of edges

Compute: Least Common Ancestors (LCAs) that contain query keywords, in ranked order

RDIL: Algorithm An element may be ranked highly in one list and low in another list B+-tree helps search for low ranked element When to stop scanning inverted lists? Based on Threshold Algorithm [Fagin et al., 2002], which periodically calculates a threshold Can stop if we have sufficient results above the threshold Extension to most specific results
