An Exponentiation Method for XML Element Retrieval
XML document is now widely used for modelling and storing structured documents. The structure is very rich and carries important
information about contents and their relationships, for example, e-Commerce. XML data-centric collections require query terms allowing users to specify
constraints on the document structure; mapping structure queries and assigning the weight are significant for the set of possibly relevant documents
with respect to structural conditions. In this paper, we present an extension to the MEXIR search system that supports the combination
of structural and content queries in the form of content-and-structure queries, which we call the Exponentiation function. It has been shown
the structural information improve the effectiveness of the search system up to 52.60% over the baseline BM25 at MAP
