Abstract
In this work we propose a flexible approach to extract and evaluate association rules on XML documents. We describe two kinds of association rules: structural associations and value associations. A structural association allows one to capture the similarity of an XML document with respect to a given structure, while a value association allows one to capture the similarity of the information contained in the XML document with respect to a given scenario. Moreover, we show how it possible to compose these associations in order to describe complex association rules on XML documents
