Einführung in XML

Das hier frei verfügbare Skript und die Sammlung an Klausuren mit Musterlösungen aus den Jahren 2006 bis 2015 geht auf die gleichnamige Vorlesung im Bachelorstudiengang Informatik an der Universität Kassel zurück, die von Prof. Dr. Wegner und ab 2012 von Dr. Schweinsberg angeboten wurde. Behandelt werden die Grundlagen der eXtensible Markup Language, die sich als Datenaustauschsprache etabliert hat. Im Gegensatz zu HTML erlaubt sie die semantische Anreicherung von Dokumenten. In der Vorlesung wird die Entwicklung von XML-basierten Sprachen sowie die Transformierung von XML-Dokumenten mittels Stylesheets (eXtensible Stylesheet Language XSL) behandelt. Ebenfalls werden die DOM-Schnittstelle (Document Object Model) und SAX (Simple API for XML) vorgestellt.

Computational tool to support design of DAC Converter model AD7528 with the object code in XML

Based on literature review, electronic systems design employ largely top-down methodology. The top-down methodology is vital for success in the synthesis and implementation of electronic systems. In this context, this paper presents a new computational tool, named BD2XML, to support electronic systems design. From a block diagram system of mixed-signal is generated object code in XML markup language. XML language is interesting because it has great flexibility and readability. The BD2XML was developed with object-oriented paradigm. It was used the AD7528 converter modeled in MATLAB / Simulink as a case study. The MATLAB / Simulink was chosen as a target due to its wide dissemination in academia and industry. From this case study it is possible to demonstrate the functionality of the BD2XML and make it a reflection on the design challenges. Therefore, an automatic tool for electronic systems design reduces the time and costs of the design.

Busca quântica de dados XML usando algoritmo de Grover

This paper presents a quantum search algorithm implementation with small modifications. The algorithm idea is to be hybrid, capable to run on classical systems and quantum systems. We present the concepts of quantum search and introduced a pseudo-framework able to generate code for classical computers (C++) and quantum computers (QCL). The algorithms were submitted to simulations, which resulted in a comparative study of the operation of Grover’s algorithm on both systems, carrying out searches in a mass of data in XML format files. As a result, we see very similar numbers between classical and quantum systems, this creates an expectation that the search in real quantum computers is much more efficient.

A novel XML document structure comparison framework based-on sub-tree commonalities and label semantics

XML similarity evaluation has become a central issue in the database and information communities, its applications ranging over document clustering, version control, data integration and ranked retrieval. Various algorithms for comparing hierarchically structured data, XML documents in particular, have been proposed in the literature. Most of them make use of techniques for finding the edit distance between tree structures, XML documents being commonly modeled as Ordered Labeled Trees. Yet, a thorough investigation of current approaches led us to identify several similarity aspects, i.e., sub-tree related structural and semantic similarities, which are not sufficiently addressed while comparing XML documents. In this paper, we provide an integrated and fine-grained comparison framework to deal with both structural and semantic similarities in XML documents (detecting the occurrences and repetitions of structurally and semantically similar sub-trees), and to allow the end-user to adjust the comparison process according to her requirements. Our framework consists of four main modules for (i) discovering the structural commonalities between sub-trees, (ii) identifying sub-tree semantic resemblances, (iii) computing tree-based edit operations costs, and (iv) computing tree edit distance. Experimental results demonstrate higher comparison accuracy with respect to alternative methods, while timing experiments reflect the impact of semantic similarity on overall system performance.

Analytical Processing Over XML and XLink

Current commercial and academic OLAP tools do not process XML data that contains XLink. Aiming at overcoming this issue, this paper proposes an analytical system composed by LMDQL, an analytical query language. Also, the XLDM metamodel is given to model cubes of XML documents with XLink and to deal with syntactic, semantic and structural heterogeneities commonly found in XML documents. As current W3C query languages for navigating in XML documents do not support XLink, XLPath is discussed in this article to provide features for the LMDQL query processing. A prototype system enabling the analytical processing of XML documents that use XLink is also detailed. This prototype includes a driver, named sql2xquery, which performs the mapping of SQL queries into XQuery. To validate the proposed system, a case study and its performance evaluation are presented to analyze the impact of analytical processing over XML/XLink documents.

Analisi di algoritmi per il rilevamento delle differenze fra documenti XML e integrazione con gli editor

Il successo di XML ha rinnovato l'interesse per il controllo delle modifiche sugli alberi e i dati semi-strutturati. Le necessità principali sono gestire le revisioni dei documenti, interrogare e monitorare i cambiamenti e scambiare efficientemente i documenti e i loro aggiornamenti. I cambiamenti che si verificano tra due versioni di un documento sono sconosciuti al sistema. Quindi, un algoritmo di diffing viene utilizzato per costruire un delta che rappresenta i cambiamenti. Sono stati proposti vari algoritmi di diffing. Alcuni considerano la struttura ad albero dei documenti XML, mentre altri non lo fanno. Inoltre, alcuni algoritmi possono trovare una sequenza più "sintetica" delle modifiche. Questo migliora la qualità del monitoraggio e l'interrogazione delle modifiche. Esistono altri approcci sviluppati per monitorare i cambiamenti sui documenti XML, differenti dagli algoritmi di diffing, ma che comunque ottengono risultati quasi identici ed offrono un'interrogazione delle modifiche più agevole per gli utenti umani. Esistono infatti programmi di editing con strumenti di change tracking, che permettono a più autori di modificare diverse versioni dei documenti contemporaneamente e registrando in tempo reale tutti i cambiamenti da loro apportati. In questo lavoro studio i diversi strumenti e confronto i loro risultati sulla base di esperimenti condotti su documenti XML opportunamente modificati per riconoscere determinati cambiamenti. Ci sono anche diverse proposte di formati del delta per rappresentare i cambiamenti in XML, ma non vi è ancora alcuno standard. Espongo le principali proposte in base alle loro specifiche, le loro implementazioni e sui risultati degli esperimenti condotti. L'obiettivo è di fornire una valutazione della qualità degli strumenti e, sulla base di questo, guidare gli utenti nella scelta della soluzione appropriata per le loro applicazioni.

”By my Lords comand, I am to acquainte you”: An Edition of the Seventeenth-Century Correspondence of the Wentworth Family in the Folger Shakespeare Library

This thesis is an edition of the correspondence of the Yorkshirean Wentworth family. The aim of the edition is to provide these handwritten manuscripts to a wider audience by transcribing them. The material has been acquired from the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the transcriptions presented in this thesis are a part of their database called Early Modern Manuscripts Online. My material consists of fifteen documents from the early modern period which have been sent to or sent by members of the Wentworth family. Fourteen of these documents are letters, and one is a warrant written in the form of a letter. In the Folger Shakespeare Library the documents form the section 2.1. Correspondence of the Wentworth family in a larger collection called Papers of the Cavendish-Talbot family. The documents have been transcribed diplomatically in order to retain the character of the original manuscripts. In addition to the transcriptions, background chapters on letter writing, the historical and linguistic context, and palaeography are provided. Furthermore, each text includes a commentary containing a brief summary of the text and a description of the manuscript. Notes concerning specific words or concepts are also provided to make the texts easier to understand. Additionally, the transcriptions are encoded in XML for the purposes of the Folger Shakespeare Library. These earlier unedited manuscripts reassert the status of the Wentworth family in the early modern English society and provide information about letter writing conventions, language, and palaeographical conventions in early modern England. This edition can be used in further studies, for example as part of a larger corpus.

Mapping and Displaying Structural Transformations between XML and PDF

Documents are often marked up in XML-based tagsets to delineate major structural components such as headings, paragraphs, figure captions and so on, without much regard to their eventual displayed appearance. And yet these same abstract documents, after many transformations and 'typesetting' processes, often emerge in the popular format of Adobe PDF, either for dissemination or archiving. Until recently PDF has been a totally display-based document representation, relying on the underlying PostScript semantics of PDF. Early versions of PDF had no mechanism for retaining any form of abstract document structure but recent releases have now introduced an internal structure tree to create the so called 'Tagged PDF'. This paper describes the development of a plugin for Adobe Acrobat which creates a two-window display. In one window is shown an XML document original and in the other its Tagged PDF counterpart is seen, with an internal structure tree that, in some sense, matches the one seen in XML. If a component is highlighted in either window then the corresponding structured item, with any attendant text, is also highlighted in the other window. Important applications of correctly Tagged PDF include making PDF documents reflow intelligently on small screen devices and enabling them to be read out in correct reading order, via speech synthesiser software, for the visually impaired. By tracing structure transformation from source document to destination one can implement the repair of damaged PDF structure or the adaptation of an existing structure tree to an incrementally updated document.
