| Abstract | Since modern applications have applied Extensible Markup Language (XML) to encode their data and information, traditional databases including relational and objectoriented databases have been used to handle XML documents. The traditional databases however lack of simple mechanisms for dealing with XML documents' hierarchical structures and require XML data to be translated into a set of related tables or objects, which substantially affects searching performance. The study proposes an efficient data structure for XML documents based on functional requirements for XML document databases and develops a C++- and main memory- based engine for management of hierarchically structured XML document databases, founded on the proposed data structure. The engine is evaluated by analysis of relationships among four important factors: searching time, database sizes, complexity of query statements and numbers of qualified results. The results illustrate that the engine is efficient: searching time of a certain query is a linear combination of the database size, the number of qualified results and the query complexity. |
