Keyword-based Search for Hybrid XML-Relational Databases
Liru Zhang, Tadashi Ohmori, Mamoru Hoshi · 2008
In recent years, keyword-based search has been suggested to be applied instead of query-language based search for Relational Databases and XML Databases. In this paper, we propose a new method of keyword-based search for a Hybrid database, the Relational Database allowing XML data format. Firstly, we analyze the ability of keyword-based search for XML Database and traditional Relational Databases and clarify that the results of keyword-based search on each system are defective. Next, we propose a method of keyword-based search for Hybrid XML-Relational Databases and explain that better results are obtained in the Hybrid system.
