Abstract:

Recently, the issues of how to define functional dependencies (XFDs) and multivalued dependencies (XMVDs) in XML have been investigated. In this paper we consider the problem of checking the satisfaction of a set of XMVDs in an XML document. We present an algorithm using extensible hashing to check whether an XML document satisfies a given set of XMVDs. The performance of the algorithm is shown to be linear in relation to the ”tuple size ” of the XML document, a measure which is related to, but not the same as, the size of the XML document. We then propose a method to estimate the ”tuple size ” of an XML document. We also conduct a comparison between the hashed based approach and a sorting based approach to checking XMVDs and show that the hash based approach provides superior performance. 1
