Abstract

The Internet is a vast collection of documents that are constantly evolving. Most of the data on the Internet is available through structured or semi-structured documents. XML is one of the semi-structured data exchange format used over the web. Therefore, understanding and detecting the changes occurring in XML documents becomes crucial. Due to the tree-structured and self-determined nature of the XML document, many change detection algorithms have been proposed. Most of these algorithms are based on comparing the entire XML trees of two versions of XML documents for identifying and locating the changes in them. We proposed an algorithm in this paper that uses the multiple digest scheme that helps in reducing the search space of locating the changes in the XML document. The approach used in this paper does not create any extra computation overhead for the processing of XML document which is justified by the results obtained.
