    Type-Ahead Search in XML data based on Improved Forward Index Structure: ATASK

    Get PDF
    The keyword based search system is most widely used in many real time applications for getting the required information from huge amount of dataset in quick time. There are many keyword search based systems and methods presented by various authors already, as the time goes, this methods becomes inefficient in different ways. The all previous methods did not work for search XML data in mode of type-ahead search, and hence it is not trivial to extend existing techniques to support fuzzy type-ahead search in XML data. Previous methods are not purely based on XML data and as XML data is consisting of parent and child nodes, it is complex to understand such format to read for existing methods. Existing methods directly works on single document. Thus to overcome the limitations of existing methods, we need to have efficient XML based type-ahead shear method. Recently we have studied one such method, which is called as TASX (pronounced “task”). This is fuzzy type-ahead search method in XML data. This method searches the XML data during the typing of keyword from user end and it searches XML data even if it’s misspelled. Experimentally this method showing efficient performance as compared to existing methods, but there are still suggestions over this method for improvement. Here, we are presenting extended approach for XML based type-ahead search method ATASX (pronounced “a task”). In this method we are proposing to use improved forward-index structure method with aim of improving the search efficiency it reduces searching time and provides result quality

    Semantic Web is, without a doubt, gaining momentum in both industry and academia. The word "Semantic" refers to "meaning" - a semantic web is a web of meaning. In this fast changing and result oriented practical world, gone are the days where an individual had to struggle for finding information on the Internet where knowledge management was the major issue. The semantic web has a vision of linking, integrating and analysing data from various data sources and forming a new information stream, hence a web of databases connected with each other and machines interacting with other machines to yield results which are user oriented and accurate. With the emergence of Semantic Web framework the na\"ive approach of searching information on the syntactic web is clich\'e. This paper proposes an optimised semantic searching of keywords exemplified by simulation an ontology of Indian universities with a proposed algorithm which ramifies the effective semantic retrieval of information which is easy to access and time saving

    Impliance: A Next Generation Information Management Appliance

    Full text link
    ably successful in building a large market and adapting to the changes of the last three decades, its impact on the broader market of information management is surprisingly limited. If we were to design an information management system from scratch, based upon today's requirements and hardware capabilities, would it look anything like today's database systems?" In this paper, we introduce Impliance, a next-generation information management system consisting of hardware and software components integrated to form an easy-to-administer appliance that can store, retrieve, and analyze all types of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured information. We first summarize the trends that will shape information management for the foreseeable future. Those trends imply three major requirements for Impliance: (1) to be able to store, manage, and uniformly query all data, not just structured records; (2) to be able to scale out as the volume of this data grows; and (3) to be simple and robust in operation. We then describe four key ideas that are uniquely combined in Impliance to address these requirements, namely the ideas of: (a) integrating software and off-the-shelf hardware into a generic information appliance; (b) automatically discovering, organizing, and managing all data - unstructured as well as structured - in a uniform way; (c) achieving scale-out by exploiting simple, massive parallel processing, and (d) virtualizing compute and storage resources to unify, simplify, and streamline the management of Impliance. Impliance is an ambitious, long-term effort to define simpler, more robust, and more scalable information systems for tomorrow's enterprises.Comment: This article is published under a Creative Commons License Agreement (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/.)

    Ranking and returning the most relevant results for a question is probably the most popular form of XML query processing. To resolve this issue, we first suggest an elegant framework for query relaxation processes to support difficult XML queries. The solutions on which this framework is based are not required, however, to satisfy the precisely defined query syntax, as they can be based on the qualities that can be deduced in the initial query. It does not have the power to elegantly combine structures and content to answer comfortable questions. In our solution, we classify nodes into two groups: categorical nodes and statistical nodes and pattern-based approaches in assessing the similarity relationship of categorical nodes and statistical nodes. We continue to use a comprehensive set of experiences to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach to the accuracy and recovery of values. Querying XML data often becomes difficult in practical applications because the hierarchical structure of XML documents can be heterogeneous, so any slight misunderstanding of the document structure can certainly increase the risk of unsatisfactory queries. This is very difficult, especially given that such queries produce empty solutions, even if there are no translation errors. In addition, we design a non-periodic evidence-based vector diagram to create and adjust the weakening of the structure and develop an inefficient evaluation parameter to evaluate the similarity relationship on structures. So, we design a new approach to take the highest k that can intelligently create the most promising solutions in a linked order using the ranking scale

    Intelligent query for real estate search

    Get PDF
    The purpose of this project is to improve search query accuracy in a real estate website by developing an intelligent query system which provides the best matching result for standard search criteria. This intelligent query website utilizes fuzzy logic and partial membership to filter query results based on user input data. Fuzzy logic helps obtain results that are otherwise not attainable from a non-fuzzy search. A non-fuzzy search entails search results that match exactly with the given criteria. This project also allows a user to do a free keyword search. This type of search uses synonyms of the keywords to query for houses. The resulting information will be more credible and precise than the traditional website because it provides a reasonable result, of the specified search, to the user

    AsterixDB: A Scalable, Open Source BDMS

    Full text link
    AsterixDB is a new, full-function BDMS (Big Data Management System) with a feature set that distinguishes it from other platforms in today's open source Big Data ecosystem. Its features make it well-suited to applications like web data warehousing, social data storage and analysis, and other use cases related to Big Data. AsterixDB has a flexible NoSQL style data model; a query language that supports a wide range of queries; a scalable runtime; partitioned, LSM-based data storage and indexing (including B+-tree, R-tree, and text indexes); support for external as well as natively stored data; a rich set of built-in types; support for fuzzy, spatial, and temporal types and queries; a built-in notion of data feeds for ingestion of data; and transaction support akin to that of a NoSQL store. Development of AsterixDB began in 2009 and led to a mid-2013 initial open source release. This paper is the first complete description of the resulting open source AsterixDB system. Covered herein are the system's data model, its query language, and its software architecture. Also included are a summary of the current status of the project and a first glimpse into how AsterixDB performs when compared to alternative technologies, including a parallel relational DBMS, a popular NoSQL store, and a popular Hadoop-based SQL data analytics platform, for things that both technologies can do. Also included is a brief description of some initial trials that the system has undergone and the lessons learned (and plans laid) based on those early "customer" engagements

    No-But-Semantic-Match: Computing Semantically Matched XML Keyword Search Results

    Get PDF
    Users are rarely familiar with the content of a data source they are querying, and therefore cannot avoid using keywords that do not exist in the data source. Traditional systems may respond with an empty result, causing dissatisfaction, while the data source in effect holds semantically related content. In this paper we study this no-but-semantic-match problem on XML keyword search and propose a solution which enables us to present the top-k semantically related results to the user. Our solution involves two steps: (a) extracting semantically related candidate queries from the original query and (b) processing candidate queries and retrieving the top-k semantically related results. Candidate queries are generated by replacement of non-mapped keywords with candidate keywords obtained from an ontological knowledge base. Candidate results are scored using their cohesiveness and their similarity to the original query. Since the number of queries to process can be large, with each result having to be analyzed, we propose pruning techniques to retrieve the top-kk results efficiently. We develop two query processing algorithms based on our pruning techniques. Further, we exploit a property of the candidate queries to propose a technique for processing multiple queries in batch, which improves the performance substantially. Extensive experiments on two real datasets verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approaches.Comment: 24 pages, 21 figures, 6 tables, submitted to The VLDB Journal for possible publicatio

    WAQS : a web-based approximate query system

    Get PDF
    The Web is often viewed as a gigantic database holding vast stores of information and provides ubiquitous accessibility to end-users. Since its inception, the Internet has experienced explosive growth both in the number of users and the amount of content available on it. However, searching for information on the Web has become increasingly difficult. Although query languages have long been part of database management systems, the standard query language being the Structural Query Language is not suitable for the Web content retrieval. In this dissertation, a new technique for document retrieval on the Web is presented. This technique is designed to allow a detailed retrieval and hence reduce the amount of matches returned by typical search engines. The main objective of this technique is to allow the query to be based on not just keywords but also the location of the keywords within the logical structure of a document. In addition, the technique also provides approximate search capabilities based on the notion of Distance and Variable Length Don\u27t Cares. The proposed techniques have been implemented in a system, called Web-Based Approximate Query System, which contains an SQL-like query language called Web-Based Approximate Query Language. Web-Based Approximate Query Language has also been integrated with EnviroDaemon, an environmental domain specific search engine. It provides EnviroDaemon with more detailed searching capabilities than just keyword-based search. Implementation details, technical results and future work are presented in this dissertation
