  • Method and system for handling non-presence of elements or attributes in semi-structured data
    Patent number: 10242123
    Abstract: The invention relates to detecting non-presence of nodes in a document of semi-structured data and to creating a values index which properly reflects this non-presence. The document of semi-structured data, comprising multiple hierarchically organized nodes, is scanned for values (step 110). Subsequently, these values are indexed (step 120). As non-presence of at least one node is detected (step 140), this non-presence is documented by enhancing the values index (12) by a pseudo key (20) (step 150).

  • Three-phase single-pass efficient processing of Xquery update
    Patent number: 7953742
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for processing XQuery Updates on an Extensible Markup Language (XML) document. The XQuery Updates are processed in three phases. The first phase includes creating a pending update list (PUL) including all update operations to be performed on nodes in a fragment of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) document. The second phase includes sorting the PUL. The third phase includes applying the sorted PUL to each node in the XML fragment during a single traversal of the XML fragment.
