Caching XML Data on Mobile Web Clients.
Stefan Böttcher, Adelhard Türling · 2004
Whenever XML data is delivered from a web server to small mobile clients, it may be considerably advantageous when the client caches and reuses XML data of previous queries in comparison to delivering the same XML data from server to client repetitively. We present a technique to identify, construct and minimize that fragment of an XML document, which is required to answer a query but which is not contained in the client’s cache. We further show how this so called difference XML fragment can be integrated with the XML data stored already on the client, such that thereafter an XPath query can be answered completely using the client’s cache available on mobile devices.
