Abstract
A number of labeling schemes have been designed to facilitate the query of XML, based on which the ancestor-descendant relationship between any two nodes can be determined quickly. Another important feature of XML is that the elements in XML are intrinsically ordered. However the label update cost is high based on the present labeling schemes. They have to re-label the existing nodes or re-calculate some values when inserting an order-sensitive element. Thus it is important to design a scheme that supports order-sensitive queries, yet it has low label update cost. In this paper, we design a binary string prefix scheme which supports order-sensitive update without any re-labeling or re-calculation. Theoretical analysis and experimental results also show that this scheme is compact compared to the existing dynamic labeling schemes, and it provides efficient support to both ordered and un-ordered queries.
