Abstract
Over the past decade, XML has become a commonly used format for storing and exchanging data in a wide variety of systems. Due to this widespread use, the problem of effectively and efficiently managing XML collections has attracted significant attention in both the research community and in commercial products. One can claim that the centralized management and querying of XML data (i.e., data residing in one system) is now a well understood problem. Unfortunately, centralized techniques are limited in their scalability when presented with large collections and heavy query workloads.
