XML-verkkotietokantojen suorituskykyvertailu

XML:n kasvava suosio dokumenttiformaattina sekä sen alati monipuolistuva käyttö ovat lisänneet XML-tiedonhallintajärjestelmien tarvetta. Yksi tapa XML-dokumenttien hallintaan on edelleen tiedostopohjainen järjestelmä. Erilaisiin tietokantoihin perustuvat XML-tiedonhallintajärjestelmät ovat kuitenkin viime vuosina kasvattaneetsuosiotaan monipuolisempien ominaisuuksien ja paremman suorituskyvyn takia. Lisäksi XML-dokumenttien hallinta tiedostopohjaisessa järjestelmässä käy lähes mahdottomaksi suurilla datamäärillä. Suhteellisen uutena tulokkaana XML-dokumenttienhallintaan ovat tulleet natiivit XML -tietokannat, jotka ovat suunniteltu juuriXML:ää silmälläpitäen. Tässä diplomityössä esitellään erilaisia XML-tiedonhallintajärjestelmiä. Erityisesti relaatiotietokantoihin ja natiiveihin XML -tietokantoihin perustuvien ratkaisujen taustoihin ja teknisiin yksityiskohtiin yritetään luoda syvällinen katsaus. Neljälle XML-tiedonhallintaratkaisulle - Binary Approachille, Edge Approachille, eXistille ja Xindicelle - suoritetaan XMach-1 suorituskykytesti. Lisäksi testattavien ratkaisujen teknistä toimivuutta arvioidaan sekä analyyttisen että käytännön tarkastelun kautta. Suorituskykytestien ja teknisen toimivuuden arvioiden perusteella on tarkoitus valita XML-tiedonhallintaratkaisu Javalla toteutetulle Web-sovellukselle, joka käyttää XML:ää tietojen tallennusformaattina.

Processing XML with Java – a performance benchmark

Over time, XML markup language has acquired a considerable importance in applications development, standards definition and in the representation of large volumes of data, such as databases. Today, processing XML documents in a short period of time is a critical activity in a large range of applications, which imposes choosing the most appropriate mechanism to parse XML documents quickly and efficiently. When using a programming language for XML processing, such as Java, it becomes necessary to use effective mechanisms, e.g. APIs, which allow reading and processing of large documents in appropriated manners. This paper presents a performance study of the main existing Java APIs that deal with XML documents, in order to identify the most suitable one for processing large XML files

Performance analysis of Java APIS for XML processing

Schem@Doc: a web-based XML schema visualizer

XML Schema is one of the most used specifications for defining types of XML documents. It provides an extensive set of primitive data types, ways to extend and reuse definitions and an XML syntax that simplifies automatic manipulation. However, many features that make XML Schema Definitions (XSD) so interesting also make them rather cumbersome to read. Several tools to visualize and browse schema definitions have been proposed to cope with this issue. The novel approach proposed in this paper is to base XSD visualization and navigation on the XML document itself, using solely the web browser, without requiring a pre-processing step or an intermediate representation. We present the design and implementation of a web-based XML Schema browser called schem@Doc that operates over the XSD file itself. With this approach, XSD visualization is synchronized with the source file and always reflects its current state. This tool fits well in the schema development process and is easy to integrate in web repositories containing large numbers of XSD files.

XATA 2010 : XML : Associated Technologies and Applications, 8th

These are the proceedings for the eighth national conference on XML, its Associated Technologies and its Applications (XATA'2010). The paper selection resulted in 33% of papers accepted as full papers, and 33% of papers accepted as short papers. While these two types of papers were distinguish during the conference, and they had different talk duration, they all had the same limit of 12 pages. We are happy that the selected papers focus both aspects of the conference: XML technologies, and XML applications. In the first group we can include the articles on parsing and transformation technologies, like “Processing XML: a rewriting system approach", “Visual Programming of XSLT from examples", “A Refactoring Model for XML Documents", “A Performance based Approach for Processing Large XML Files in Multicore Machines", “XML to paper publishing with manual intervention" and “Parsing XML Documents in Java using Annotations". XML-core related papers are also available, focusing XML tools testing on “Test::XML::Generator: Generating XML for Unit Testing" and “XML Archive for Testing: a benchmark for GuessXQ". XML as the base for application development is also present, being discussed on different areas, like “Web Service for Interactive Products and Orders Configuration", “XML Description for Automata Manipulations", “Integration of repositories in Moodle", “XML, Annotations and Database: a Comparative Study of Metadata Definition Strategies for Frameworks", “CardioML: Integrating Personal Cardiac Information for Ubiquous Diagnosis and Analysis", “A Semantic Representation of Users Emotions when Watching Videos" and “Integrating SVG and SMIL in DAISY DTB production to enhance the contents accessibility in the Open Library for Higher Education". The wide spread of subjects makes us believe that for the time being XML is here to stay what enhances the importance of gathering this community to discuss related science and technology. Small conferences are traversing a bad period. Authors look for impact and numbers and only submit their works to big conferences sponsored by the right institutions. However the group of people behind this conference still believes that spaces like this should be preserved and maintained. This 8th gathering marks the beginning of a new cycle. We know who we are, what is our identity and we will keep working to preserve that. We hope the publication containing the works of this year's edition will catch the same attention and interest of the previous editions and above all that this publication helps in some other's work. Finally, we would like to thank all authors for their work and interest in the conference, and to the scientific committee members for their review work.

Traductor de especificaciones XML de redes de Petri coloreadas a un lenguaje para la resolución de problemas de optimización

Este proyecto presenta el desarrollo de una aplicación que permite traducir Redes de Petri Coloreadas diseñadas en CPN Tools a un lenguaje para la generación de ficheros de entrada a un simulador/optimizador de Redes de Petri Coloreadas. De esta manera se podrán optimizar modelos creados en CPN Tools ya que esta herramienta no facilita la optimización. Todo el proyecto se ha realizado en C++.

Generació de documents en application/pdf a partir d'una estructura XML

Aquesta memòria vol mostrar que la tecnologia XML és la millor alternativa per a afrontar el repte tecnològic existent en els sistemes d'extracció d'informació de les aplicacions de nova generació. Aquests sistemes, d'una banda, han de garantir la seva independència respecte dels esquemes de les bases de dades dels quals s'alimenten i, de l'altra, han de ser capaços de mostrar la informació en múltiples formats.
