Abstract

This article mainly proposes a bottom-up method to index XML document. Firstly we discuss the underlying properties of the method, architecture, creation algorithm and query algorithm, then conduct a set of experiments referring to the Timber and XIndice system. The demo system convinces that, this method can maintain excellent indexing and querying performance under given queries with normal PC on the DBLP XML test set of which the size is 315M, so it can be regarded as a prospective application with good performance. XML, indexing, Inter-relevant Successive Trees.
