    摘要: Range query techniques are disclosed for use in accordance with data stream processing systems. In one aspect of the invention, a technique is provided for indexing continual range queries for use in data stream processing. For example, a technique for use in processing a data stream comprises obtaining at least one range query to be associated with the data stream, and building a range query index based on the at least one range query using one or more virtual constructs such that the query index is adaptive to one or more changes in a distribution of range query sizes. The step/operation of building the range query index may further comprise building the range query index such that the range query index accommodates one or more changes in query positions outside a monitoring area of the at least one range query. In another aspect of the invention, a technique is provided for incrementally processing continual range queries against moving objects. For example, a technique for evaluating one and more continual range queries over one and more moving objects comprises maintaining a query index with one and more containment-encoded virtual constructs associated with the one and more continual range queries over the one and more moving objects, and incrementally evaluating the one or more continual range queries using the query index.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided which solves the looping problem in structural documents, such as those defined by DOM, EDI and XML. The method and apparatus remove ambiguities by presenting a user with a hierarchical tree structure representation of the document allowing the user to select data grouping rules to be followed. The method and apparatus then automatically create a modified hierarchical tree structure based upon the user-defined rules. Rules can be input by the user using a rule table editor or by means of a graphical user interface.

    摘要: Techniques are provided for performing structural joins for answering containment queries. Such inventive techniques may be used to perform efficient structural joins of two interval lists which are neither sorted nor pre-indexed. For example, in an illustrative aspect of the invention, a technique for performing structural joins of two element sets of a tree-structured document, wherein one of the two element sets is an ancestor element set and the other of the two element sets is a descendant element set, and further wherein each element is represented as an interval representing a start position and an end position of the element in the document, comprises the following steps/operations. An index is dynamically built for the ancestor element set. Then, one or more structural joins are performed by searching the index with the interval start position of each element in the descendant element set.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided according to the present invention which guarantee that an Extensible Markup Language (XML) query output conforms to a Document Type Definition (DTD) of the user's choice. The present invention allows for: (i) selection of a DTD; (2) integration of one or more XML queries with the DTD; and (iii) in accordance with the provided algorithm, automatic generation of a valid output XML document conforming to the DTD, using the data selected by the XML queries as content of the XML document.
